Description: Vintage Woven Bamboo BIRD / SWAN / GOOSE / SNAKE Basket Measures 12” long x 8 1/2” wide. Stands 13 1/2” tall to handle. Made in the early 1970’s, this vintage bamboo bird basket is actually a very hard basket to find today. It was made in the Philippines in a weaving technique traditional in the South Pacific. The handle is a woven flattened tube of natural split bamboo and mahogany dyed canes. The basket body features 2 styles of weaving techniques of x's with dark brown dyed canes on he bottom section. On the bottom area, the weaving pattern produces is a unique geometric pattern that is a technique first done in Africa. This was a very complicated basket to make. Look at the head of the bird and notice how the beak is solid bamboo and was split to form the shape of the head first. Shaping the head was not an easy task. The basket also has a braided foot to make it sit flat. CONDITION: Excellent, vintage pre-owned condition. See photos for details. Please message for any questions, thanks.
