Group of baskets

The baskets displayed here are crafted in villages
of Southeast Asia. Traditionally, they were used
for utilitarian and ceremonial purposes. Due to the
influence of tourism, these beautiful baskets are
now sold around the world. These sales have greatly improved the standard of living for the artisans and
their families.

The process and quality have remained surprisingly
consistent over the years. There have been few changes
in the types of tools used. It can take up to three months
to finish a single basket, depending on its size and shape.
This includes drying it under the sun and smoking it in a coconut fiber and wood powder fire, resulting in a rich
color and pleasing aroma. The end product is a durable
and elegant accessory.
