Gourd flower basket with finely woven design

This basket was conceived with the image of air flowing freely through it. The wrapping strips, set against the vertical elements, are made by bundling three thin strands and weaving them together. After completion, the piece is dyed with plant-based pigments and finished with wiped lacquer.
