SUKOHARJO, INDONESIA - JUNE 06: An amputated worker finger due to an accident while hitting metal plates is seen as they make traditional gong instruments at a workshop in Wirun village on June 6, 2018 in Sukoharjo, Central Java, Indonesia. Traditional gong production is still practised in Sukoharjo, Central Java, and are fashioned by melting raw tin and copper before a craftsman heats the plate and forms the shape with a mallet. In the art of karawitan, gongs are usually used as a sign of the beginning and the ending of a song. Currently, traditional gong production is rare due to the high manufacturing cost. Many people now use digital instruments instead and some fear that the karawitan artform could be lost in the future. (Photo by Ulet Ifansasti/Getty Images for LUMIX)
