This basket was purchased in the village of Penestanan just west of Ubud on the Indonesian Island of Bali. Ubud is considered the 'cultural centre of Bali' and Penestanan used to be called the 'Village of Young Artists'. In the 1930's many European artists, mostly German, went to Ubud. They fostered the young artists in this village. It is now know for it's beautiful bead work. Another reminder of a wonderful holiday.
