Basket Bulukun By Unkol Dominique

Meet Uncle Dominique, a masterful Bulukun basket artisan from Kampung Rugading, Kiulu. He stands as a living testament to a fading art, being possibly the last artisan in Sabah capable of crafting such exquisite woven products. Despite his remarkable skill, Uncle Dominie faces significant challenges due to his disability and dismobility in sourcing raw materials from the rainforest surrounding his home. In the face of these obstacles, Uncle Dominie’s dedication to his craft is both inspiring and a poignant reminder of the importance of supporting and preserving such rare and invaluable skills before they vanish from our cultural landscape. Rustic Borneo Craft engages his supplies and merchandise his Bulukun baskets not just in Sabah but also Peninsular and Singapore.
