Description: | The construction comprises a bamboo, or other split cane, framework covered with a decorative and strong knotted or interwoven pattern of plaited vegetable fibre twine (the edges are tied with criss-cross bindings of twine). The base is constructed of piled bamboo lengths and a light wood bound with loosely interwoven twine lengths giving a hollow base. Under the decorative knotting are various leaves and a cotton(?) material in red with black stripes. The handle at the top is a piece of wood or a thick stem bound with twine and lies through a loop of knotting fixed to the top. This knot loop is now giving way and in a fragile state. Inside the roof the house is hollow. There is a floor platform. Javanese. See also NCM 1887-112/2 (there is a difference in size between the two).
