Provenance: Collection of a lady
Asia, Circa 1950
Rice winnowing baskets, integral to Southeast Asian agricultural practices, were used to separate rice grains from chaff. This pair, made circa 1950, represents a continuation of centuries-old weaving techniques, passed down through generations. The use of rattan, a durable and flexible material, allowed for the creation of these large, sturdy baskets, essential for efficient winnowing.
