Zentner Collection: Antique Japanese Tansu, Asian Works of Art
An antique Japanese bamboo Ikebana basket reminiscent of an outdoor garden fence. Bicolor bamboo strips in an open weave design. The handle is intertwined with young and old mature bamboo symbolizing a family's support over many generations. The old bamboo has segmented root nodes often referred to as Eyes. The overlapping slats on top of slats in the main body represents both support in numbers as well as the idea of abundance. The foot is woven bamboo in a low profile. Made by a unknown artist.
