These baskets were used to winnow rice or grain from the chaff called 'Mi' Basket making is an ancient and humble craft, but in the hands of a skilled weaver a simple willow basket can become a truly beautiful work of art.
 
This tall, dark rice basket from southeast Asia wonderfully showcases the artisan's mastery of this craft. Reinforced by a wooden base, the basket is tightly woven of thin reeds in an even, rhythmic pattern.
 
The round base is woven with an indent for carrying on the head perhaps and easy storing in a corner. Rich with character, the basket remains in remarkable condition - a testament to its craftsmanship. This beautiful piece can be mounted on your wall of any room as an amazing conversation piece. Or any other interior design ideas you might have.
