content: Notes by the collector, Emilienne Ireland: Durable basket for long-term use. Used by both men and women. Used mainly for storing and protecting small objects that are delicate or valuable. A woman might store unprocessed cotton (ayúpe), which she wants to keep clean, protected from dust and the smoke from hearth fires. A man might store a lump of beeswax (iyápi), or a lump of resin (ukúwanáki) from the hardwood ukuwána tree. This resin is used to attach arrowpoints to arrows (ukú). A man might also store a lump of kéhejukakí, another type of resin.
