Basket

Beaded basket. Small basket with long strap. Twill-design basketry of flattened rattan. Front of basket covered with green cloth, over which is a criss-cross design of red ribbon strips. In the interstices of this criss-cross are yellow chain embroidery and tiny metal and/or shell sequins. The red ribbon strips are beaded with white seed beads. The shoulder strap is plaited plant fiber (sisal or coir), which has been covered by more of the green cloth from the front, edged with white seed beads; triple tassels of floss and white seed beads are attached close to either end of the strap.

Sensitive Content
Mapping Philippine Material Culture collates digital material from institutions, and some of this material is inherently colonial and contains words, terms and phrases that are inaccurate, derogatory and harmful towards Filipino and Filipino diasporic communities. Catalogue transcriptions, book titles, exhibition titles and museum titles may contain harmful terms. We recognise the potential for the material to cause physical and mental distress as well as evoke strong emotions. Owing to the scale of the collection’s data, a process to implement sensitive-content warnings in the displayed data is still incomplete. The material within the catalogue does not represent Mapping Philippine Material Culture’s views. Mapping Philippine Material Culture maintains a strong anti-colonial, anti-racist position and affirms its support for centring the humanity of historically marginalised and disenfranchised communities.
