AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A lot of 3 old, used rice baskets from the Igorot/Ifugao/Ibaloi tribes in northern Philippines – Luzon Island
(the larger pointed basket comes from the beautiful island of Palawan in the south)

Also used by the Igorot/Ifugao tribes for gathering and also storing cassava and other root crops in the fields, such as yams, taro, etc. The flat basket was certainly more used for serving cooked rice.

The great harvest in the steep mountains and terraces of Luzon was always a ritual act!
These ancient pieces come from the large collection of Roberto Vargas, Madrid

VGL.: "Basketry of Luzon Cordillera" by UCLA Fowler Museum (Los Angeles) Page 16
"Philippine Basketry" by Robert F. Lane - Page 139 (pictures are posted following the object photos)

Dimensions: 38 cm high, 23 cm wide (large basket)
31.5 cm long & wide (square flat basket)
12 cm high (smallest basket)
