Kakan (Dilly Bag) - Black Palm

Made from locally foraged black palm, the basket is woven using the traditional kakan technique learnt from Delissa's grandmother, Ngadijina Wilma Walker. This is an extension of important cultural practices passed on through her matrilineal family. Traditionally these baskets were used for carrying gathered foods, as well as babies. The knotting technique she uses in her weaving is also used in her contemporary jewellery pieces and open weave mats. NOTE: This artwork requires ART FREIGHT SHIPPING.
