Bag
Bags were everyday transport and storage containers, while more elaborately designed kete also formed part of an individual's appropriate personal equipment, especially in the 19th century. In the past textile work in complex weaving and braiding techniques was exclusively carried out by women. The fabric (muka) as well as the fringes of this bag are made of fibres of New Zealand flax (Phormium tenax), the fringes being sewn to the kete with cotton or linen threads.

The
acquisition list records 1877 as the year of acquisition by Ferdinand
von Mueller (1825-1896). Mueller, who emigrated to Australia in 1847,
was in the service of the British colony of Victoria as a botanist from
1853, until he was appointed as director of the Royal Botanical Gardens
in Melbourne from 1857 to 1873. Mueller supported important expeditions
into the interior of Australia or took part in them himself. However, he
probably did not travel to New Zealand himself – how he came into
possession of this object is unknown..
