Abstract

This investigation examined eight types of wicker ware of the ethnic Chong in Khlong Saeng Village. There were five important findings from this study. 1) The aim of the wicker ware creation from the past to the present has always been to use them as tools for career, household and ritual use. 2) The handicraft work has been produced for practical purposes, so production methods are simple. Their shapes are cylindrical, round and square, and there are four conventional designs and two newly developed designs. 3) The main material for the wicker work which is unique to the ethnic group is a plant, called Khlum. The plant has special natural qualifications in that when it is made into straps, they are glowing red, slippery, soft, tough, and cool. 4) Although the ethnic wicker work is simple in shapes and designs, it has aesthetic beauty in its own, reflecting the ethnic artistic abilities to create practical work that is beautiful and convenient to use, with suitable sizes, shapes, and material. 5) Presently, the ethnic group has tried to maintain this wisdom by learning from the elderly, their relatives and neighbors. Some state agencies have given some support for their attempt. Conservation and maintenance of this ethnic wisdom require cooperation from the ethnic group themselves and concerned state agencies. There might be a guideline to develop and solve the problem of the ethnic wicker work by encouraging more quality production, career development, re-cultivation of the Khlum plant, and investigation and transmission of the handicraft in the community education system.
