Description: | A bamboo carrying basket with a missing lid. The base is square and the basket is reinforced with black stained lengths of bamboo on the edges of the base, red-stained uprights at each corner and a double rim of rattan cane towards the upper rim of the basket. These uprights and cane are bound with narrow strips of natural-coloured bamboo at intervals. There is a diagonal twill weave and geometrical patterning in red and black against a natural background. A twined strap of undyed fibre is attached to each of the two sides of the basket for carrying. | Publisher: | http://www.horniman.ac.uk/ | Subjects: | basketry Melanau dye cane baskets (containers) cane (plant material) | Source: | Horniman Museum | Identifier: | oai:oai.horniman.ac.uk:object-120189 |
