- Lot Description
Indonesian Handwoven Rattan Storage Box. Small single compartment with a lid and closure.
Size: 4 1/2 X 4 X 4 in.
#7151 .
The art of weaving baskets in Indonesia can be traced back to the earliest inhabitants of the island. Different regions have developed their own unique styles, techniques, and materials based on local resources and cultural influences. Bamboo, rattan, pandan leaves, and other locally sourced fibers are used to create their craft, with the most prized being a rare grass called Ata that grows only in the volcanic foothills of the island of Bali. These materials are carefully harvested, processed, and woven into intricate patterns and designs to create functional and decorative baskets intended for several purposes. One notable aspect of Indonesian basket weaving is its connection to everyday life and cultural practices, as many baskets are used for carrying and storing food, transporting goods, and as containers for offerings in religious ceremonies and cultural rituals. In Bali especially, intricately woven bamboo baskets are used for offerings in Hindu ceremonies, while in Sulawesi finely woven rattan baskets are crafted for everyday use. Additionally, some ethnic groups such as the Dayak people of Borneo are known for their intricate basketry traditions, incorporating motifs and designs inspired by their natural surroundings and cultural beliefs. Oftentimes these intricate pieces can take over a month to produce, as they are handmade and at the end they are smoked using coconut shells to finish the material and bind it tightly. This leaves a smokey and toasty scent that can linger for years after the object is made, and creates a luscious caramel color that is considered a sign of high quality the deeper the hue.
