Found unlocated in the stores, but probably boxed as Oceania X-Files c1980s. The South Australia Museum website, 'Making Baskets, Making Culture', describes these baskets as 'Sister baskets are so named because the two halves are identical, like 'sisters'. These were made by Ngarrindijeri people of south east South Australia.' See http://www.samuseum.sa.gov.au/gallery/aacg/speakingland/story18/18_module.htm accessed 2015.12.14
