content: THIS SMALL, FLAT, WALLET-LIKE BASKET HAS A DOUBLEWEAVE, WITH THE INTERIOR LINING OF A WIDER TWILL CHECKERWORK, AND THE EXTERIOR OF TWILL PLAITING IN DARK AND LIGHTER PANDANUS. THIS BASKET TECHNIQUE IS MUCH LIKE THE FIJIAN, AND LOOKS MORE LIKE OTHER FIJIAN BASKETS, ALTHOUGH IT MAY HAVE BEEN COLLECTED IN TONGA. IT WAS ORIGINALLY CATALOGUED AS A HAWAIIAN BASKET.
