Category: Ethnographic Objects

A pair of traditional hand-woven baskets, including one Indonesian Lombok rattan vine basket with a lid, and one lidless Pacific Northwest cedar root, exact tribal origin unknown. The underside of the larger basket’s lid has a lip woven along its edge, permitting the lid to form a relatively firm seal when put in place to keep any stored items secure, making this basket a practical form of storage as much as a decorative object. Largest item measures approximately 6.5" in diameter x 5" tall.
