PhotoHunt#84 Covered
I have been seeing this native basket outside some of the Ifugao houses while traversing the rice terraces but did not know what was it for. When I found this again outside the Hanging House Souvenir Shop in Batad, I asked our guide who was also the owner of the souvenir shop what was it for. The answer, a basket to cover their chickens. Can you see one now?

cannot see the picture :(
ok now i can see the pic...
so ingenious ...
that's the native cage.:p
they're made of bamboo, rattan and other vines and still being used in the provinces.
Poor little chicken! Not only in a basket but probably heading for the pot! But certainly 'covered'.
Ah I did not see the hen, Nice take on the theme!
aloha,
what a great interpretation of the theme today, very creative and colorful, i love the basket, its very intricate.
I kind of feel sorry for the chicken being so enclosed but great photo and you definitely have this theme COVERED.
Cool chicken cover :)!
Thanks for visiting my blog today. Have a wonderful weekend!
Oh I remember those baskets when I was growing up in the province... sa Cebu. I saw the chicken inside that cover. Great take on the theme!
And thank you for visiting my blog!
I've seen something very similar in Malaysia .
I used to see rattan cages to house native chickens in my hometown.
