Default Jacket / basket for I.D

Just bought this.
Cannot find the origin in my books. First thoughts were Naga or Nias but no luck with them.
Any ideas ?

Good aged patina on the rattan. The base appears to be split bamboo.
The "hair" is vegetable not animal.
Large enough to wear on the chest - but why the "basket" ?

As usual all suggestions welcome.

Regards
Roy

Agree with Willem,

the vegetable hair is attached that rain can't harm the content of the basket.

Very nice backpack with good age!

Regards,
Detlef

Thumbs up

I THINK THE VEGETABLE HAIR COMES FROM THE TRUNK OF SOME SORT OF PALM TREE. I HAVE SEEN IT USED FOR HAIR ON SOME OF THE WOOD CARVINGS MADE IN BALI. A NICE EXAMPLE OF BACK PACK.
