HANGING BASKET, Yao, Early Modern Period（16th–19th centuries）

This unique hanging basket, crafted by the Yao people, is characterized by its distinctive construction, which involves shaping a hollowed-out fruit and meticulously weaving around its perimeter.
The intricate patterns of the weaving are beautifully executed, evoking a sense of warmth and craftsmanship.

Consider it as a wall-mounted object; with the addition of a bamboo tube, it could also serve as a charming vase.
