Lombok Handicrafts

The traditional Sasak people of Lombok Island Indonesia
had few cupboards in their village houses, instead they created handwoven
cane wicker baskets boxes of all kinds. Varieties are still made on Lombok
today. There are baskets to store clothing trinkets, plaited ones for everyday
purposes such as coffee picking, finely woven baskets for ceremonies and gifts.

Some info for you about Lombok Island
Lombok is an island east of Bali. The climate is drier and the channel between
the two islands is deep. This puts Lombok on the east side of the Wallace
Line which means that some of the plants and wildlife are related to those
in Australia rather than Asia. Many of the native Sasak people of Lombok practice
Wektu Telu which combines aspects of Islam with Hindu-Buddhist beliefs. Other
Sasaks practice Wektu Lima which is closer to orthodox Islam.
Lombok was colonized, first by the Balinese and then by the Dutch. Many Balinese
families still live on the island and they do some of the carving of the beautiful,
curvilinear figures that decorate the baskets. Their family compounds are
marked by the traditional Balinese Hindu shrines, daily offerings and the
complex Balinese ceremonial cycle.
