Rattan Weaving, Sarawak

Sarawak's rattan weaving by Orang Ulu and Penan communities produces baskets with geometric patterns that command international acclaim, achieving prices 20% higher than similar crafts from #6 Keris Making due to their growing contemporary design appeal. Using split rattan in diverse colours, these coiled and plaited forms require up to 200 hours for a single piece, making them faster to produce than a keris but 15% lighter than the average competitor's work.
