content: Notes by the collector, Emilienne Ireland: Men's basket, made of inner bark strips (atamain) wrapped on a collapsible wood frame, used for carrying heavy loads, or storing supplies in the home. Although baskets of this sort are so light as to be flimsy, any man can easily repair it on the spot, even using a piece of his ankle bindings, if need be, which are made from the same strong and flexible inner bark material. Compare this basket to item #205 [catalog number E435239]. This one is basic and utilitarian. No. 205 has comfortable webbing all across the section that lies on the man's back.
