Basket

human history

A round basket with a single handle. The elliptical base is made up of coils that have been covered and knotted together with dried pandanus. Strands of pandanus in a light natural brown and a faded natural yellow form horizontal patterns. The handle appears to have been attached separately to the base. It is made of the same coloured pandanus material and features triangular patterns in the form of a twill weave.
