“Community” Art Basket
The Baba Tree’s artisan weavers have woven local knowledge and meaning through symbols into this exquisitely handwoven basket. The house symbol depicts the rich tradition of the local housing which signifies the beauty of living together in community. I believe it’s what we are all seeking in one one or another and thus this basket’s story really felt like home to me.
Your purchase of this artisan basket assists us to continue ethical employment with this cooperative and promotes artisan innovation and entrepreneurship.
