Description: | Illegible. However, the outline of a number is visibly written on the object at the base, indicating that it may be inventoried, or at least has been marked for some purpose in the past.
Wide squat basket, twill woven made from split bamboo. Square base, from which the sides swell out slightly, then curve inwards and then flat above the shoulder, with a short neck above which the rim is reinforced with hoops of cane. A plaited and twined carrying strap is attached at two points to one side of the neck, which is bound with bands of plaited fibre strips. A number of complex techniques involved in the making of this basket.
