The Dayak traditionally carry their children in a kind of wicker baskets (dayak baby carier or ba\' ), with a wooden base in the shape of a semicircle. Used for the manufacture of Rattan or ironwood (ironwood), with good flexibility, elasticity and strength.

At first glance, ba\' is a practical, beautifully decorated vehicle for carrying children - one of the many unique in the world slings and bands. In reality it is not so. Ba\' is really a very practical thing, but at the same time, it is truly a work of art, endowed with supernatural properties and plays an important social role.

Children are at infancy up to 2 to 3 years, are carried in this rare art form. The child sits in the \"basket\", facing forward, his legs hanging freely on the sides of his mother\'s body. This position allows the child to watch the events taking place around him over the shoulder of his mother, or from the comfort of sleep, resting her head on her back.

The Dayak are the native people of Borneo, Indonesia. It is a loose term for over 200 riverine and hill-dwelling ethnic subgroups, located principally in the interior of Borneo, each with its own dialect, customs, laws, territory and culture, although common distinguishing traits are readily identifiable. Dayak languages are categorised as part of the Austronesian languages in Asia. The Dayak were animist in belief; however many converted to Christianity, and some to Islam more recently. Estimates for the Dayak population range from 18 to 20 million.
