This article analyses the bamboo baskets collected by the
First Southeast Asia Rice Crop Research Team, and which are
now in the collection of the National Museum of Ethnology.
They were collected in Thailand, Laos and Cambodia.
The following technical aspects of the baskets are examined :
form and framework, weaving method, and the manner of stripping
the bamboo in preparation for weaving.
Data are presented graphically by line drawings.
The baskets are similar in form, weaving method and quality
of bamboo. Most are finished by a method similar to Nodaguchi
Shiage. The baskets can be divided into two groups; those
high in quality and minutely woven, and a roughly woven group.
