basketry

Ancient craft (Mesolithic–Neolithic) used to make a wide range of objects (from baskets to furniture) by interweaving or braiding rushes, cane, or other equally strong and supple natural fibres. Wickerwork is a more rigid type of basketry worked onto a sturdy frame, usually made from strips of willow.
