Meekono_ African Baskets Guide
Welcome to our e-book that will take you on a journey into the fascinating world of African basketry. Within its pages, you will find yourself immersed in the rich tapestry of cultures, traditions, and craftsmanship that define this ancient art form that has transcended time and space.
Our goal is an unveiling threads of culture, symbolism, and sustainability woven into every one of these baskets. By diving into the stories behind each one, we hope you will gain more understanding of the profound meanings behind the patterns and designs, and come to appreciate the skill and artistry of the craftspeople who dedicate their lives to creating this beautiful craft.
This is by no means an exhaustive guide and we have frustratingly left out so much.
We therefore encourage the reader to use this as merely a stepping stone into a deeper exploration of, not only African basket-weaving tradition, but artisanal practice in general. And if any one type takes your fancy, dive deeper and enjoy the experience.
