Abstract


Abstrak 

Artikel ini melaporkan hasil kerja dokumentasi dan analisis tembikar yang telah dijalankan di Muzium Sultan Abu Bakar, Pekan, Pahang. Sebanyak lapan belas (18) tembikar tradisional iaitu dua belas (12) daripadanya ialah tembikar jenis terenang, lima (5) jenis belanga dan satu (1) tembikar jenis periuk serta beberapa serpihan tembikar prasejarah telah direkodkan. Kesemua tembikar ini telah dikaji menggunakan pendekatan morfologi. Analisis morfologi adalah satu bentuk kajian tentang ciri fizikal tembikar seperti saiz, berat, warna, bentuk, ketebalan, kemasan permukaan dan hiasan. Kajian-kajian lalu turut membuktikan bahawa nilai estetika pada tembikar dapat dijelaskan melalui bentuk motif, simbol dan ragam hiasnya. Analisis morfologi yang dijalankan ke atas tembikar prasejarah juga telah menyumbang maklumat asas tentang profil bibir dan ragam hias tembikar dari tiga buah tapak arkeologi di Pahang iaitu Gunung Senyum, Gua Bama dan Gua Sagu. Laporan awal ini diharapkan dapat menjadi bahan rujukan asas bagi kajian tembikar di Muzium Sultan Abu Bakar pada masa akan datang sekali gus memperkasa pengetahuan kita tentang warisan tembikar dulu dan kini di Pahang. 

Kata kunci: Tembikar tradisional, tembikar prasejarah, Muzium Sultan Abu Bakar, dokumentasi, analisis morfologi

 

Abstract 

This article reports on the documentation and pottery analysis work carried out at the Sultan Abu Bakar Museum in Pekan, Pahang. A total of eighteen (18) traditional pottery, twelve (12) of which are Terenang, five (5) Belanga, one (1) Periuk and several fragments of prehistoric pottery were recorded. All these potteries were studied using the morphological approach. Morphological analysis is a form of study of the physical appearance of pottery such as size, weight, colour, shape, thickness, surface finish and decoration. Previous studies have proven that the aesthetic value of pottery can be defined through its motifs, symbols and decorative patterns. Morphological analysis conducted on prehistoric pottery from Gunung Senyum, Gua Bama and Gua Sagu also provided some basic information on the rim profile and surface decoration. It is hoped that this preliminary report can serve as a baseline for future studies of pottery at Sultan Abu Bakar Museum as well as in deepening our understanding towards the heritage of past and present pottery in Pahang 

Keywords: Traditional pottery, prehistoric pottery, Sultan Abu Bakar Museum, documentation, morphological analysis
