英文說明:These are four pairs of flower baskets, eight in all. The baskets are plaited from bamboo strips. They are round with openings of bamboo bark. A handle of thick bamboo bark has been added and red and black lacquer applied. The edges are alternately black and red. The handles are sectioned in red and black as well. The bottoms of the baskets are painted in concentric circles of red and black. Two baskets form a set. These baskets were used to hold flowers for happy occasions. They were carried on a carrying pole, usually a single one. Women used them for sewing baskets as well. Of these four pairs, three are complete. There is a broken handle on one basket of the remaining pair.
