Basket Rattan Sieve River Snail Collecting Basket Ifugao Philippines Handmade Woven Rattan Basket Collecting Snail Unique

This is a wonderful Square Woven Rattan Sieve Basket called a "Hay du" Basket used in Collecting Snails from the River from the Ifugao people of the Luzon Cordillera Range of the Philippines. Traps and sieves helped in catching fish, shellfish, snails and insects. For centuries, basketry formed an essential part of all aspects of daily life in this area, and the Ifugao are known for their craftsmanship in basketry. Baskets range in form and size. Basketry is gender specific among some groups, but, both Ifugao men and women engage in basket making. Baskets are made of bamboo, rattan, or a combination of the two. The most frequently utilized construction technique entails plaiting, although wickerwork, twining, or coiling are also employed. Typically in plaiting, two elements are woven over and under each other at a right angle. A marvelous and unique item to add to your collection or to display in your home.
