Product Description
Ate baskets, Woven Column inch (medium, set of 3): Home & Kitchen. One needs a lot of patience to weave one tiny piece of ate into a basket or bag. NOVICA, in association with National Geographic, offers thousands of limited edition and one-of-a-kind gifts, jewelry, and home decor treasures handmade by master artists and artisans throughout the world. Nengah Danantara highlights ate's natural elegance in a versatile set of three baskets. Danantara's design is similar to Bali's rantang, which piles up to six food containers. Woven by hand, this set of stackable baskets features one lid and long ate straps. Artisan Info: I was born on November 16, 1978, the second child in family. My mother is Nengah Suji, a senior ate maker in our village. My father was a cab driver; I often accompanied him driving around when I was a child. Time passed by, and I learned to print Balinese handwriting on a palm leaf, as well as carving images on this leaf; my grandfather taught me. When demand grew for ate products, many in my village started dedicating more time to this craft, and I saw it as a challenge to learn how to make these items too. Weaving ate is not as hard as people may think, but it's not an easy work either. I would like to thank Novica for making my work part of the largest network of artists in the Internet.
