Sepia-toned parchment illustration of the South Sumatran folktale Si Kancil and the Widow of Bukit Siguntang. In the foreground, a poor elderly widow in a wrapped sarong climbs a hillside path with urgency, her face filled with concern as she looks back. Beside her, Si Kancil, a small mousedeer with large ears and slender legs, stands on a rocky outcrop, mouth open in a warning cry. In the background, a massive tidal bore crashes into the riverside village, sweeping away bamboo huts and palm trees. The Musi River churns violently, while Bukit Siguntang rises behind them like a protective sentinel. “OldFolktales.com” is inscribed at the bottom right.

Sepia-toned parchment illustration of the Philippine legend Tikbalang. On a misty mountain trail in the Cordillera highlands, Ramon, a weary trader with a heavy pack, bows deeply with his shirt turned inside out, his face showing humility and fear. Behind him, looming in the swirling fog, the Tikbalang towers half-human, half-horse with a muscular warrior’s body, wild mane flowing like dark smoke, gleaming eyes, and hooves planted firmly on the rugged path. Ancient pine trees rise into the mist, their roots gripping the rocky terrain, while ghostly hoofprints mark the mud. The atmosphere is eerie yet sacred, capturing the moment of respect and revelation. “OldFolktales.com” is inscribed at the bottom right.
