Authentic 50 year old Hand Woven Rattan Philippine Pasiking Backpack

Description

My family purchased this pasiking when we lived in manila in the early 1970's.  These were the first years these backpacks were made by hand, and they became
a symbol among Filipino students for nationalist activism. There was a decline of making traditional bamboo crafts, including the pasiking, during the 1980s but in the mid-2010s, the industry of bamboo crafts came into resurgence.  This particular pasiking is not a newer model, but an original from the early 1970's.  They
are considered exemplars of functional basketry in the Philippines and among Filipinos.
The measurements are: 13 inches high x 9 inches wide x 7 inches deep.
