Austroasiatic carrying basket
The austroasiatic carrying basket or kapha is a wicker basket common to many Austroasiatic people in Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines and Thailand. It is carried on their back to go to the fields, but also at parties, where it serves as an adornment for the girls. Weaving these carrying baskets is a craft that has been passed down from generation to generation with a unity in style which has defined tribal identity and raised interest of ethnologists.
