content: Jason Baird Jackson notes: "Based on seeing examples in rural Guizhou province in December 2014, I note that this basket type is used as a spool for yarn or thread to be used in hand weaving. This type of basket is used suspended on a horizontal rod, around which it can turn... this “spool” basket is somewhat conical in form. Whereas [this] basket has a wooden piece at its open end, baskets seen during 2014 in Guizhou are woven closed... While such baskets have been seen (ca. 2014) among the ethnic groups/nationalities of Guizhou province, it is not known to me how widely this type is to be found in China as a whole."
