Hearst Museum object titled Burden basket, accession number 10-3339, described as Burden basket, wider at top than bottom; of woven bamboo; decorated with rattan. Native name “bokog” - a basket worn on one’s back. Note from collector “This type of basket is called a bokog, the name of which is derived from the Bagobo word for back (bok-kog) since the basket is worn on one’s back. The bokog is woven of laya, a bamboo variety, which is split into 1/4 inch strips. The strips are then peeled (a process called gonay) into thin strips called oni, from which the basket is woven. The bokog is decorated with rattan. Unlike bamboo, which has many layers that can be peeled off and used, only the outer layer of the rattan can be used. It is a laborious process to peel off this outer layer (the process is called gogpit; the outer, finished layer called inugpit).
