This Ifugao “gor-bun” rattan basket, dating from the early 20th century, is a masterful example of traditional Filipino craftsmanship. Featuring a coiled construction, pedestal base, round body, and a tightly fitting lid, it is both functional and aesthetically pleasing. The twisted fiber handles ensure ease of use, while the natural plant fiber and reed materials emphasise its ethnographic significance.
