SOUTHEAST ASIA BASKETS, from the Collection of Clare Brett Smith

The baskets are for sale too and prices are listed in the catalogue.

Photographs of the baskets were taken by Malcolm Brown, my grandson, and those from the field by Burge or me.  Burge and I owned Primitive Artisan, importers of folk art, and were known to international development officers as  "compassionate importers", and to the trade as an idiosyncratic resource. We collected these baskets in Southeast Asia in the 1970s and, at that time, most of them were already antiques.

Although in the form of a book, this is actually a catalogue, soft cover, 11” x 8.5”, 56 pages, 57 images, published 2009, $59 ppd.
