Hearst Museum object titled Basket, accession number 18-1083, described as Container, food container: purple and green dyed, natural plaited “pandanus” rectangular container. Open work plaiting (decorative) at bottom of container with braid (single) 49.5 cm. long, knotted at end. 17 x 25 cm. (open plaiting forms triangle shape). Used as a container for gifts during rice harvest season. Filled with rice (hulled), or “empin” (a parched pounded rice product made only with newly harvested rice) and end sewn up. Used as a container for gifts to visitors (kin?) who help a family with harvest activities, probably ritual. No activities occurred during my [Don Lambert ?] research in which containers of this sort were required. These two containers (#42 and 43) are an example of an item people claim they used to make. I [Don Lambert ?] was unable to elicit a clear description of their former use, or exact rituals involved. Cost in U.S. dollars: 1.04. (see catalogue # 18-1084)
