Indirubin made from woad by Robin Hill.  Indirubin is alsways present in indigo dyed textiles in history.  Indoxil converts to indirubin.  Woad leaves are cooked and isatin is added to the strained water, then ammonia is added to turn it alkali.  Indirubin preciptiates.  Can be used as a reference.  Indirubin is used to check how much indigo you can get out of leaves.

occurrenceRemarks:
Robin Hill hung shoots in chloroform vapour, enzymes release indoxyl (a precursor to indigo that forms in the leaf), then the clhlorophyll pigments were extracted with 80% acetone.  This reveals where the indigo is formed.  It is mainly concentrated in the youngest leaves (this is the same for woad too).   This same experiment was also carried out on the flowers of Calanthe included.  Some dyed wool samples are included.

The document also sheds light on the status of Lepcha as a written language in the middle of the 19th century, and on Lepcha orthography at that time, and, indirectly, on the phonology of the Lepcha language See - R.K. Sprigg (1983), Hooker's expenses in Sikkim: an early Lepcha text.  Bulletin of the School of Oriental and African Studies 46(02):305-325. doi:10.1017/S0041977X0007885X.

Base is worked as spiral. Where base meets sides, work changes from spiral to a series of rings. Each ring is wrapped separately. End of spiralling core can be seen at edge of base.  Coiling at centre and wrapping. ‘Coiling’ pine root (diameter increasing towards rim, where approximately 0.4cm). Think it is coiled with continuous coiled on base, but sides are separate rings.

eventRemarks:
Nathaniel Edwards gathered latex from the balata tree some distance in the forest from Rewa village. Sylvia Edwards (a Makushi woman) made the water vessel.

occurrenceRemarks:
From Holly Harris 2/2/2017: The object was acquired during a research trip to Rewa village, in the north Rupunini, Guyana, during March-April 1998.  My hosts, Nathanial and Sylvia Edwards had offered to show me how basic domestic vessels were traditionally made out of a substance from the 'balata tree'.  Mr Edwards gathered the latex/substance from a tree he called 'balata tree' some distance from the village in the forest.  According to him, not many of these trees remain in the forest, and where they do, they are far from the village.  His wife demonstrated to me the process of making this into a small water vessel used primarily when travelling through the forest on hunting/fishing or farming expeditions.  She moulded the substance between her hands and rolled and shaped it on a hard surface adding dashes of water to soften the substance and keep it pliable, much as one would roll and shape clay or plasticine into an object.  Once shaped into the vessel it was left to harden within a few hours.  The Makushi still make these kitchen items from balata despite availability of plastic kitchenware.   Note on identification: Manilkara bidentata was local to the area (Rupununi, Guyana).

occurrenceRemarks:
This wood came to Kew with uncertain itdentification: 'Round section of Bahia rosewood?'  The label states Bahia or Brazilian rosewood, Dalbergia nigra, Brazil.  Geoff Kite found that the indicator for Dalbergia - dalnigrin - was not present in this wood.  Peter Gasson's subsequent anatomical examination suggests a reasonably good anatomical match with Hymenaea sp. The colour of the wood is also a good match.  See Kite, G.C., Green, P.W.C, Veitch, N.C, Groves, M.C., Gasson, P.E. & Simmonds, M.S.J. (2010).

Leaflet inserted into every packet:  PRESERVING WILD ARABICA AND IMPROVING LIVELIHOODS The Yayu Forest Reserve in Ethiopia is one of the last and most important remaining places for the conservation of wild Arabica coffee. Wild coffee forests and surrounding forested areas are part of a coffee farming system that benefits livelihoods and nature conservation. We are working with the communities at Yayu to improve the quality of their coffee, which via Union Direct Trade means that better prices are paid to the farmer. If the coffee is worth more, the value of the forest also increases, providing an incentive for its preservation.   THE YAYU PROJECT Working together with the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, the Darwin Initiative, and local partners, our aim is to: Improve the long-term livelihoods of coffee farmers at Yayu.  Protect the biodiversity of the forest, which is home to hundreds of plant and animal species, and important natural populations of Arabica coffee  In addition to the quality premium paid to farmers, 25p from each Yayu coffee bag sold goes towards ongoing research and community development at Yayu.  Union Direct trade means more than just paying a fair price.  It means we work together with coffee farmers in long-term relationships, improving both the quality of coffee and livelihoods.

Extracted from label data: Nettle fibre textiles from the mountains of Nepal. 'Allo' occurs in forests above 1500 m.  For generations Rai, Gurung and Magar have extracted the fibres by boiling and beating the bark of the stems and then spinning and weaving them to make sacks, bags, straps, jackets or knitted fishing nets.  Besides these traditional products weavers from Sankhuwasbha have recently created a variety of textiles including knitwear and a combination of nettle and local wool and other fibres for a wider market, which has enabled them to earn the supplementary income essential to survival in this harsh environment.  Your purchase can help the people preserve a rich cultural heritage and protect the mountain area.

Made traditionally by Newars from Pyangaon.  Originally they were made as grain measures,  but are now used for storage.  Gajurel 1984  cited by Dunsmore 2016 - The making of a pyang requires art and skill: after cutting the bamboo into sections between the nodes and cutting off the outer layer ('choya'), later to be used in sewing, the bamboo is split lengthwise.  By soaking and heating, the rounded sections are carefully opened up and sliced into sheets which are formed into the required cylinder shapes.  Thee are sewn together with the 'choya' strips before the base sheet is sewn on.

ScientificName: Calamus optimus
scientificNameAuthorship: Becc.
kingdom: Plantae

genus: Calamus
specificEpithet: optimus
occurrenceRemarks:
- While this basket is referred to on Dunsmore's original label as a Kayan 'Ingan', in her chapter published in 'Plaited Arts of the Borneo Rainforest' the same basket is pictured and labelled as an Iban 'Ingan'.  - However, in 'Iban Baskets' by Blehaut, all padi carrying baskets are referred to by the Iban as 'Lanji' (pg. 145).  - Blehaut also states that the Kayan and Kenyah have baskets which closely resemble Iban 'lanji; which they refer to as 'ingen' / 'ingan'; and describes the subtle differencesbetween the style coming from each ethnic group (pg. 153).   -  Due to this confusion it is not possible to say with certainty whether this example is Iban or Kayan, and whether it should be refered to as an 'Ingan' or a 'Lanji' Body is Calamus optimus and rim is Calamus ornatus (John Dransfield May 2018)

Susi Dunsmore 1985 (2006):  For spinning allo fibre 'jakilma', women use lightweight hand spindles the whorls of which are usually elaborately carved by men, often the husband or father of the spinner.  Prior to spinning, the dry, clay-rubbed fibres are opened up: one end of the fibre bundle is grasped with the toes, the other end is put under and around the arm.  Under tension the fibres are gradually pulled apart.  Thickness and twist of the yarn can be controlled by the spinner.  Often spinners can beidentified by certain types of yarn.

occurrenceRemarks:
Lauren Gardiner: Traditional design, now popular in cities.   Leaf sheath fibres of Astrocaryum standleyanum.  Usually both fibres (inside coiled core, and outer thin cover) are Astrocaryum standleyanum. Sometimes Mauritiella macroclada (Arecaceae) used for the coiled core, but the outer thin fiber is always A. standleyanum. Leaflet epidermis plus mesophyll used to make the fibres. Plants used for dying include bija (Bixa orellana L.: Bixaceae) - deep orange color; puchicama (Fridericia chica (Bonpl.) L.G. Lohmann: Bignoniaceae) - either light orange or black color if the fiber is buried in mud for 48 hours; and cúrcuma (Curcuma longa L.: Zingiberaceae) - yellow color. Other plants are used but the Wounaan prefer not to reveal names or processes involved. A total of nine colors are found in current Wounaan basketry - natural, red, black, orange, yellow, brown, green, light purple, and a deep, wine-colored red obtained by mixing several dyes (Torres & Avendaño 2009, pers. comm. Rodrigo Bernal 2017). More information in: Garcia 2013, and Bernal 2013.

Bought via Nueva Lengua Spanish Language School, Getsemani, Cartagena - who have an informal community development project with the Wounoon tribal communities in Bolivar, Colombia for 130000 Colombian Pesos (£33.33) Collector reformatted 2019

occurrenceRemarks:
Lauren Gardiner: Astrocaryum leaf sheath fibres.  Usually both fibres (inside coiled core, and outer thin cover) are Astrocaryum standleyanum. Sometimes Mauritiella macroclada (Arecaceae) used for the coiled core, but the outer thin fiber is always A. standleyanum. Leaflet epidermis plus mesophyll used to make the fibres. Plants used for dying include bija (Bixa orellana L.: Bixaceae) - deep orange color; puchicama (Fridericia chica (Bonpl.) L.G. Lohmann: Bignoniaceae) - either light orange or black color if the fiber is buried in mud for 48 hours; and cúrcuma (Curcuma longa L.: Zingiberaceae) - yellow color. Other plants are used but the Wounaan prefer not to reveal names or processes involved. A total of nine colors are found in current Wounaan basketry - natural, red, black, orange, yellow, brown, green, light purple, and a deep, wine-colored red obtained by mixing several dyes (Torres & Avendaño 2009, pers. comm. Rodrigo Bernal 2017). More information in: Garcia 2013, and Bernal 2013.

eventRemarks:
Made by Djan'bali of the Kunwinjku Aboriginal group.  Bought in Cairns, far north Queensland from The Original Dreamtime Art Gallery, 63 Todd Mall, Alice Springs, N.T., Aus $ 195

occurrenceRemarks:
Martin Slocock: Pandanus weaving is seasonal, the new shoots being collected during the wet season until the mid-dry season.  The leaves are stripped, dried, dyed with natural vegetable dyes (roots, leaves and berries), dried again and then woven into baskets, mats and dilly bags.  Dreamtime Art Gallery:   Pandanus baskets are made by the Aboriginal women.  The pandanus shoots are gathered from the tall [palm] when green and the centre piece is carefully extracted.  This is split with a fingernail into several lengths of fibre, bunches of which are spread in the sun to dry or are tied and hung on a tree branch.  When they have faded from green to pale green or cream, they are ready to accept the dye.  Occasionally, the fresh strips will be dyed when green but in these cases the intensity of colour is lost.  To obtain yellow, the freshly dug roots of the small bush Coelospermum reticulatum are scraped of their outer bark  The root is pale yellow but the inner bark is chrome yellow.  The bare roots and bright yellow scrapings are immersed in the water to be used for dye.  When dry, the bunch of Pandanus is placed in a billy (old tin can or cooking pot) and boiled with the dye material.  The length of boiling will deepen the colour obtained.  The dyed fibre is then woven onto cane in intricate patterned designs.

Susi Dunsmore notes: Made by men, mainly Rai or 'Henba' (low caste Sh?pa) make also allo [nettle] items). Bamboo tray 'nanglo' used for winnowing ('nifanu') and for separating the fine from the rough (big) grain. Two methods: 1 - 'Chin kaunu' / 'chinkinu': Shake both wrists until fine flour like grain creeps up the tray. 2 -  'Kelaunu': Shake sideways (right wrist moves, left holds) - fine goes right bottom rim, rough goes right top rim.

occurrenceRemarks:
The basket is pictured on pg. 73 of 'Plaited Arts from the Borneo Rainforest' (chapter written by Susi Dunsmore) and labelled as having been made by Melanu - a coastal ethnic group of North Western Borneo. Anyam gila (mad weave baskets) are also made by Malay people on NW coast. The pentagonal 'mad weave' technique is considered extremely technically challenging and it is said that the female prisoners of Singapore Gaol are made to weave 'anyam gila' basketsas a punishment (pg. 62 of same book). This basket is double-walled.

Dunsmore's notes: Sa-ong Kayan (Kenyah) hat, 49cm diameter. Made of overlapping layers of palm leaves stitched together and held in shape by a rattan ring round the rim. A skull cap (selapok), interlaced from fine bamboo strands, with a turned-up collarfor a smooth finish, is stitched to the centre of the hat, together with a circular piece of cloth. For details see Hose & McDougall 1966 reprint Vol I, pg. 214-215 and plate 45 and Sarawak Mus. occasional paper No.2, p. 14-15 zainic, 1969, 17-19. Munan 1989, plate 15 & 31, p. 51-55 Image of this sun hat in 'Sarawak Cultural Legacy (Chin & Mashman, 1991) - Ch. 19 (S. Dunsmore) pg 213 - plate 294. Kenyah sun hats are most commonly made from dried licuala palm leaves; although sometimes, but more rarely, Pandanus strips are used. It should be considered that this example may be made of Pandanus rather than licuala. Beading decoration could be more historical than the hat itself as it was often detatched from worn out hats and attached to new ones. (refer to pg. 224-232 of 'Plaited Arts from the Boreno Rainforest'.

occurrenceRemarks:
When head hunting was still prevalent the Chantong was used for storing new heads before they were hung up in the head house.  In Bidayuh basketry Calamus pogocanthus / C. optimus / C. cacsius are typically used for the vertical warps, while C. javansis is used for the horizontal. Upright supports (nekang) are made of Korthalsia flagellaris (a more sturdy rattan) - See pg. 82 of Plaited Arts from the Boreno Rainforest.  A similar basket also used for storing heads is refered to by the Iban as a 'basong' - See Iban Basketry pg. 188 (Blehaut)
