A lot of three traditional Philippine storage baskets for rice made from rotang and rattan with a wooden element, dating to the early 20th century and associated with the Igorot peoples, named tingkop and sourced from a private collection.
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
