The women folk seemed to always be making these little leaf baskets for the daily (or was it 3 times daily?) offerings. In Denpasar we stumbled across a market where folks were buying the baskets and flower petals--vendors had huge burlap bags full of them. I guess city folk don't have access to the raw materials, or maybe not as much time. Most often the offerings include sticks of incense and sometimes little cookies or pieces of candy. They are certainly a boon to the ever-present chickens!
