- Artwork story
- This basket, hand-woven of pandanus fibre, is a loose weave to allow water or air to pass through the basket and around its contents. Baskets have been the most important forms for storing and carrying food and possessions among the essentially nomadic Australian Aboriginal people of the central Desert.
