Basket weaving remained practical because the raw materials could be gathered from nearby fields and forest, and the weaving itself could be done in spare moments between other work. The result is a container that is lightweight, durable, and portable, qualities that have kept the craft alive for generations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eAbout the Material\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eLygodium circinnatum\u003c\/em\u003e, also locally known as \u003cem\u003eketak\u003c\/em\u003e, is a fern stem mostly gathered from the wilderness rather than cultivated, making it an accessible material within Lombok's weaving tradition. Researchers Cunningham and Brinckmann have documented ketak's importance to global fiber basketry, noting that demand for this fiber grew from tens of millions of stems a year in the early 1980s to well over a billion stems annually, feeding a global market worth more than US$26 million by 2020.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eThis Trinket Basket is Best For\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoutheast Asian folk art \u0026amp; handicraft collectors\u003c\/strong\u003e seeking authentic, artisan-made pieces with documented cultural meaning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBoho, global, and eclectic home decor shoppers\u003c\/strong\u003e who want a natural-fiber accent piece with a story, not a mass-produced import\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGift buyers\u003c\/strong\u003e shopping for housewarmings, new business openings, or milestone gifts tied to luck and prosperity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSustainable and slow-craft shoppers\u003c\/strong\u003e who prioritize handwoven, small-batch, artisan-supporting purchases over factory-made goods\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eJewelry, trinket, and small-object organizers\u003c\/strong\u003e who want functional storage that also works as a decorative accent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"BALIenJAVA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44728090820696,"sku":null,"price":82.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0644\/0147\/3624\/files\/vintage-handwoven-rattan-basket-with-wooden-frog-lid-image-1_4271ae30-fa3a-42b3-b87b-0eb44ce2c8b6.webp?v=1788585129","url":"https:\/\/www.balienjava.com\/products\/vintage-trinket-basket-wooden-frog-lid-southeast-asian","provider":"BALIenJAVA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
