Basketry set: Bowl

A variety of the traditional arts cultivated by Her Majesty’s foundation was represented in these accessions, including basketry, textile weaving, wood carving, and silk embroidery. Mirroring the Smithsonian’s increased awareness of the importance of preserving traditional cultures and the institution’s role in that endeavor, these gifts redoubled the efforts of the SUPPORT Foundation by ensuring the preservation of these objects for years to come.
