Fairly coarse wicker work of split bamboo. With long loop handles extending upward from the top, made of strips of bamboo. This was found in the collections in Oct. 1967 without any identification. Undoubtedly a tag had once had the Cat. No. Refer: Ralph Linton: "The Tanala", Field Mus. of Nat. Hist. Anthrop. Series Vol. 22, fig. 31, d shows one of similar shape and construction."
