The state’s murals also pay tribute to Terengganu’s master woodcarvers. A prized art form, the state’s woodcarving generally features geometric or  oral motifs as well as Arabic calligraphy. These carvings bear intricate designs and are usually found on houses, furniture, the hilt of a ‘keris’ (Malay dagger) and collectibles such as jewellery boxes, key chains and more. Woodcarving is also an important component of Terengganu’s traditional boat-building industry. Depictions of the sea, boats and marine life are also featured as the main elements in numerous street art murals.
