They are of the Senoi subgroup. Most of the members of the Mah Meri tribe live along the coast of South Selangor from Sungei Pelek up to Pulau Carey, although there is at least one Mah Meri Community on the other side of the Klang River.

They've almost 460 types of different wood carving art, each of them has a myth. Most of the character are represent their god, human and animals... The wood material is called "Nyireh Batu", it takes 8 hours a day and 3 to 4 months to finish a 4 to 5ft wood carving, 3 to 7 days for a small one. In the ancient times, they use the wood carving as a disease curing item, every when people got sick, the witch would put on some spells, move the sickness of the person on to the wood carving...then throw it into the river or sea. Besides the wood craving, they have mask that called "Moyang Tok Naning". They hang it on top of their house door and wear it while putting spells ceremony......

********************************************************************************

瑪美里族各種傳統的木雕與面具有460種。每個木雕或面具都包含著一段神話。木雕形象主要是各類神明、人類（主要是他們祖先的形象或象征）、以及各種動植物等。 瑪美里族木雕使用的原料，主要是尋獲自沼澤旁的一種硬木，瑪美里族稱之為“Nyireh Batu”。通常一座4-5公尺高的木雕，需要每天工作8小時，3-4月方能完成。而小木雕，只要3-7天。 在古代，瑪美里族還把木雕當成一種治病的物品，當有人患病時，巫師就會施法，把病人的疾病或“骯髒物”轉移到木雕上，以讓病人痊癒，過後把此木雕丟到河或海中，這些治病的木雕形象多是他們已去世的祖先。 面具在做法時也很重要，瑪美里族最重要的面具叫“Moyang Tok Naning”，瑪美里族將重要的面具掛在面對房子大門的牆上，作法時才取下佩戴。 居住在Kuala Langat，Sungai Bumbun的瑪美里族部落其木雕在2006年價值最高，國際級的作品多由此出。

********************************************************************************

祖先日(馬來文:Hari Moyang)是瑪美里族最重要的節日，當天他們會穿傳統服裝，戴面具，在為期2天的宴會中唱歌、跳舞，盡情歡樂。
