content: Edited film: shows the procedures involved in producing a box-like basket from palm leaf veins. A Fellahin in the province of Beni Suef cuts branches from a palm tree, and the branches are taken by camel to the work area. The stems and veins are stripped of leaf material, cut into suitable pieces, and worked together in order to form a basket.
