Product Description Intricately woven large round "Labba" grain basket from the Philippines. This piece is constructed of wickerwork that transitions from a square foot in the center of the base to a round rim. Additional warp pieces were tapered and inserted by the weaver to achieve the symmetrical round shape. Oftentimes this large grain basket would be carried on the head.
