NEW BORNEO ART PUBLICATION

Plaited Arts from the Borneo Rainforest
Editor: Bernard Sellato.

"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.  Unrivaled in their combination of beauty, form, and function, they provide a unique window on the way of life of Borneo's inhabitants."

Available from University of Hawai'i Press.
