The story
These baskets are made by the Xhosa, an ethnic group in South-Africa. The Xhosa people are divided into clans. Every one has his own clan name.
The women cut river reeds or “Imizi”. They dry it and then use it for weaving the baskets, following ancient traditions.
Simple yet eternally beautiful.
