Bamboo Baskets
Bamboo and wicker baskets carried on the back are commonly found in Southeast Asian countries including among the ethnic nationalities of southern China where bamboos abound. These are very useful in carrying all sorts of things specially when climbing mountains where both hands need to be free in case one has to hold on to a stick or a bush for balance. Sometimes, the basket designs distinguish one ethnic group from another. The photo shows baskets from the Zhuang nationality of Guangxi Province.
