INDONESIA – Borneo<br />

Basket Panel<br />

19 th Century<br />

Dayak<br />

Beadwork ornament attached to basket<br />

used as a baby carrier.<br />

33 x 24 cm 13 x 9½ in<br />

The biaxial symmetry <strong>of</strong> this design is somewhat<br />

unusual. A tremendous energ y is created with the<br />

interlocked coiling and flowing forms, terminating in<br />

spiraling hooks along the edges. The allusion to sea<br />

forms may auger good fortune, as might the clearly<br />

drawn heart in the center. The colors are bold;<br />

blue, red, yellow, white and green.<br />
