Teardrop Baskets
$49.00
DESCRIPTION: Across the thousand hills of Rwanda, groups of women are sitting together, weaving sisal baskets in the traditional way. The sisal fiber is extracted from the long leaf of a plant that resembles aloe. When the green fleshy part of the leaf is stripped away, white string-like fibers remain. These fibers are cleaned and dried, cooked in dye, and then woven into traditional forms- such as the peaked Teardrop basket, or less traditional forms- like earrings or napkin rings.
In Rwanda, these Sisal Lidded Teardrop Baskets are given at weddings or on other special occasions, containing gifts of friendship and thanks. Simple yet thoughtful, the traditional pattern symbolizes the mountain path of friends bearing such gifts, hidden in baskets.
Behind the product: Read the inspiring story of forgiveness and overcoming genocide and building a community of love behind these baskets here.
