\'Potato, \' basket

Imaginatively suggestive of a potato, this basket mesmerizes with its textured contours and minimalist contrasts. Desak Putu Rai works the lontar (palm leaf) in a harmonious combination of dexterity and creativity, the natural wonders surrounding her proving to be a never-ending source of inspiration. Teak leaf provides the black color, while clay is used to achieve brown tones. Each piece can take several days to finish - a lengthy process enjoyed most when able to chat and share stories with her fellow weavers. This example bestows upon any d�cor organic Balinese sentiment.
