Basket weaving (tbanh kantrak)
Back basket (ICC)
Basket-weaving is an activity of farmers throughout Cambodia. For household use or for sale, most Khmer baskets are made of bamboo cut in fine strips. The best-known styles originate in the north west of Cambodia, in the provinces of Siem Reap and Kompong Cham. Baskets by ethnic minority groups in Rattanakiri and Mondulkiri are also well-known.
