Vintage Hill Tribe Basket, Opium Hills Golden, SE Asia
This vintage Hill Tribe basket originates from the highlands of the Golden Triangle region—where the borders of Thailand, Laos, and Myanmar meet—an area historically known for its rich weaving traditions and distinctive tribal artistry. Handwoven from natural rattan and bamboo, the basket reflects the utilitarian beauty and cultural identity of the region’s upland communities.
Used by local tribes such as the Akha, Lahu, or Hmong, these baskets once served as carrying vessels for daily use, including the transport of crops, goods, and materials gathered from the hillsides. The piece displays tight, geometric weaving, a tapered form, and a warm natural patina earned through years of use and exposure to the elements.
Each curve and subtle marking tells a story of the maker’s hand. No two piece alike on found items. All dimensions approximate.
Dimensions: 11 x 7
