| 2014.3 uu.jpg | data/raw/images/fulling_mill/2014 | This traditionally woven Bidayuh Sarawak basket is called a Tambok, and is made of dark brown and beige coloured fibres. This example is smaller than DUROM.2014.2, and may have been used by a child or for smaller goods. This style of basket is created by starting with a cross on the base, from which the weaving of the sides can extend out using larger strips, with thinner strands started at the base corner. These thinner strips will be used to create the sides of the basket. There is a horizontal plaited band about a quarter of the way down from the rim, which provides structural support to the sides. The rim is strengthened with a reed to provide support. The design is in a cross-hatched style along the sides with vertical strips of larger strips of fibre creating an almost striped pattern. On one of the strips along the side a diamond shape has been woven through the pattern. There is a strip of loose fibre attached through the plait on the side, which functions as a shoulder strap | baskets | Tambok | rattan | null | Sarawak State | data/processed/OM_images_white/fulling_mill/2014 |

On the reverse side there are four carved identical patterns of Tao Tie (饕餮), an ancient beast pattern with a head but no body probably. Bi is an essential jade item in cultic and religious events, it can be also found as a funerary item in some tombs which belong to high rank people. It is essentially popular in Shang (商) and Zhou (周) dynasty because it represents cosmological concepts of the ancient Chinese people, which use Bi to sacrifice to god. In the Qing dynasty, the Emperor Qianlong was obsessed with archaic Chinese jades. In order to meet his interests, craftsmen started making a large amount of archaic style jades at that time. | bi | Chinese name not decided. | jade | Qing | China | data/processed/OM_images_white/castle/2017 |
