This paper discusses the symmetry structures of the decorative weave patterns in baskets and other household items of the Batak, an indigenous community in the Philippines. The study confirms the realization of 15 layer groups that occur as symmetry groups of the Batak weaves. Layers groups are crystallographic space groups that have translational symmetries in two dimensions.
