An important study of the basketry and other non-loom fiber art of the Aboriginal Australian Yolngu people. "The most comprehensive and consummate insight yet published into the Indigenous fibre art of northeast Arnhem Land, Containers of Power investigates the complex set of relationships between fibre works and their makers.
