By Bernard Sellato (Editor) One of the richest basketry traditions in the world, the plaited objects produced in Borneo are created from plant materials gathered in the rainforest and worked by hand using techniques passed from generation to generation. Plaited Arts from the Borneo Rainforest recognizes this plaiting tradition as the primary creative expression of the peoples of Borneo, producing the most ingenious and aesthetically appealing material goods found on the island. Illustrated with more than 1,250 color photographs, newly commissioned maps, rare historical photographs, and detailed line drawings, Plaited Arts from the Borneo Rainforest is an essential addition to the libraries of universities, collectors, and scholars alike.
