These authentic baskets were handwoven out of rattan (rotan, a climbing palm found in jungle forests). Beautiful interesting (hand woven) rib stitch weave. All 4 vintage baskets are in great condition as we never used them. 

 

The ancient art of basket weaving remains alive today among primitive people throughout the world although threatened by encroaching industrialization. This basket was masterfully handcrafted long ago with meticulous attention to detail not only for strength but to graphically tell a story about the history and customs of its weaver’s culture. 

Rattan is not only exceptionally strong it is also acknowledged as being amongst the finest medium used to make mats, carry bags and traps.
Women used to weave these strong baskets with strong but thin rattan strips, using age-old patterns and time consuming techniques. 

There is a remarkable individual variation found between basket types in Indonesia: closely woven ones for seeds, strong light ones for harvesting crops and decorated ones for ceremonies.
