      <description><![CDATA[This bag is made of around 200 small bamboo twigs held together tightly by a patterned thread. This allows the bag to be laid almost completely flat when empty, but when the base is pushed down its capacity is significantly increased. The depth of the base can be increased form about 7 to 10 cms in this way. Thus the bag can have differing profiles - either slim or triangular - when being carried whilst fastened. The bag is fastened by hooking a string loop with beaded tassles over a large wooden bead on its side, and its handles are made of a rattan twine.

      <description><![CDATA[This larger ornamental piece is derived from similar containers that have traditionally been used in Thailand to store glutinous (or ''sticky'') rice - a favourite staple of the northern Thai people. The lid is held in place by tying a knot in the string tied to either side. The sides are adorned with hand painted elephants and stylised Balinese script which - like Thai script - borrows heavily from ancient Sanskrit. The square base at the bottom served to protect the contents from water damage during times of flooding.]]></description>
