The craftsmanship of the Indonesian archipelago comes together in this remarkable handcrafted basket. Traditionally, rattan baskets are gifts for newlyweds and are used to store everything from rice and spices to clothing and fabrics. A Balinese artist meticulously hand-stitches row after row of vivid beads onto the rattan in patterns often found on formal sarongs and ritual items. The beadwork and weaving are inextricably linked, a marriage of two arts enhancing each other. Approximately 6 3/4'' diameter x 9''H.
