During the 1950s, under the curatorship of C A Gibson-Hill, Museum fieldtrips to the east coast of the Malay Peninsula yielded a wide selection of dish covers, hats, handbags such as this piece, and boxes from various states.The main materials used in weaving such pieces came from Southeast Asia's abundant vegetation. Common fibres such as bamboo, rattan, bark, palm-leaf and pandanus are turned into various household receptacles.
