The origin of Bali baskets

Bali baskets are made by the Bali Aga tribe who are the aboriginals of Bali. Living in the remote north east they remained untouched by the conflicts of other tribes migrating to the island throughout history. Still living in relative isolation, the Aga continue the cultural practices of their ancestors including the weaving of Ikat and Ata. Some Ata products are made in Lombok and elsewhere in the archipelago, but the most intricate and finest Ata products are known to be made from the Bali Aga tribe.
