| | | | | | Staying popular through the ages are traditional brass casting and bronze working for all kinds of useful utensils. A notable newer heritage is pewter craft made from tin, hugely important since the late 19th century, the search of which gave birth to Kuala Lumpur. Metal craft products include decorative items, vases, small furniture pieces, kettles and cookery items, serving trays, bowls, tepak Sireh? sets, candelabras, incense burners, rose-water sprinklers, gongs and musical instruments, Keris blades, wind chimes and even lamps. | 
| Brass and copperware remain as a part of Terengganu's traditional legacy. |
| | | Brass craft in Malaysia has been in existence since 500 B.C. during the Dong Son period, an age of emerging metal prowess. It is believed that immigrants from Southern China brought along their skills and resided in the East Coast of the Peninsular. | | Superb brass and copperware items, ranging from traditional designs to more contemporary ones are still produced in Terengganu. The process starts with making the master mould from 'Cengal' wood. Molten wax is poured into the master mould. |
|
| | | | | | The wax is then dipped into a fine clay mixture to ensure that the molten brass will be formed according to the shape of the wax mould. The molten brass or copper are then poured inside the mould and let cooled. Many decorative items such as the replicas of cannon, hand wash container, multipurpose decorative container, jewellery box, pot, water container, special trays for wedding gift, cake mould, doorknob, candle holder, 'tepak sireh' (betel nut paraphernalia set), vase, kettle, cookery item, tray, incense burner, rose-water sprinkler, musical instrument, Keris blade, wind chime, souvenir item and batik block imprints are still made using the traditional way. |

| | |  | | Technological advancement coupled with inherited skills passed down through the generations has further enhanced the technique, shape and pattern of brass and copperware products, evident today in the multitude of designs. Artisans can still be seen | | | 
| in Kampung Ladang, Kuala Terengganu where the arts of brass andcooper ware making still flourish and receives constant demands. |
| Only quality brass or copper are grinded and polished to produce eye-catching, shinier and longer lasting items. The arrival of Islam has also influenced and simultaneously altered the design and shape of brass products. | |
