Abstract :
The wooden sculpture carving is a symbol of strength in the Jah Hut tribal society. The Jah Hut tribe used this wooden sculpture as an intermediate material to carry out ritual ceremonies in the past. This study was conducted to find out the function of wooden sculpture carving in the life of Orang Asli community of the Jah Hut tribe in Kg Kol, Ulu Cheka Jerantut. Meanwhile, the objective of the study is to identify how far the production of wooden sculptures can be realized in their lives to this day. A qualitative approach through case studies has been used to describe descriptively the culture of the Orang Asli community of the Jah Hut tribe. Unstructured interviews, observations, document analysis and visual recordings are the methods that have been used. Based on the information obtained during the work in the field, the findings of the study found that the lifestyle of the Jah Hut tribe is adhering to beliefs, customs and heritage. Nowadays, the Orang Asli community has begun to enjoy the current of modernization in their lives. Along with the currents of modernization, the legacy of their ancestors should not be forgotten. This writing aims to share the experience and knowledge of researchers about the disappearing treasures of the Jah Hut tribe wood sculpture art.
