Galeri (Gallery of) Akademi Nik Rashiddin

Salam pagi Jumaat. Sempena tarikh hari ini 1.3.13 biar dipersembahkan artikel baru ini.

Peace be upon you this Friday morning. To commemorate today's date of 1.3.13 let this new article be presented.

Rabu dua hari lepas saya pergi ke satu tempat dipanggil Akademi Nik Rashiddin di Kandis, Bachok, Kelantan.

Wednesday two days ago I went to a place called Akademi Nik Rashiddin in Kandis, Bachok, Kelantan.

Ia adalah akademi persendirian yang menumpukan pada seni ukiran kayu.

It is a private academy focusing on the art of wood-carving.

Di dalamnya terletak Galeri Akademi Nik Rashiddin.

Inside is located the Galeri (gallery) of Akademi Nik Rashiddin.

Masuk ke dalam.

Going inside.

Di kiri terserlah mimbar asal Masjid Langgar, Kota Bahru, dibuat tahun 1871. Masjid boleh dilihat pada artikel Masjid (Mosque of) Langgar, Kota Bahru.

To the left stands out the original pulpit from the mosque of Langgar, Kota Bahru, made in 1871. The mosque could be seen in the article Masjid (Mosque of) Langgar, Kota Bahru.

Terdapat juga pelbagai jenis ukiran kayu lain.

Also available are other types of wood-carvings.

Paling menarik perhatian saya adalah hulu-hulu keris yang dibuat sendiri oleh pengasas galeri, arwah Nik Rashiddin.

What caught my attention the most are the holds for keris (Malay traditional wavy blade) which were personally made by the founder of the gallery, the late Nik Rashiddin.
