A short note from the journal Man describing a very large funnel-shaped coiled basket from the Solomon Islands, probably the Bougainville Straits area. It gives the basket's dimensions and construction: single-rod coiling of reeds bound with split rattan, herring-bone ornament in vertical bands, and four handholes below the rim. The author compares it with smaller baskets in the British Museum. Two photographs illustrate the basket.
