Noken Multifunctional Knotted or Woven Bag, Handcraft of The People of Papua
Description Noken is a traditional handicraft of the communities across Papua Province, Indonesia. Noken is a knotted net or woven bag made from wood fiber of leaves. The original function of the large noken was carrying babies, though it evolved to be employed for many other uses such as carrying and storing farm produce, seafood catches, wood, and more. The small noken is used to carry personal effects such as food or books and for covering the wearer's head or body. The people of Papua typically learn to craft noken from their parents. All raw materials used for making noken are sourced naturally, imbuing noken with a sense of harmony with nature.
