TRADITIONAL USE
Baskets have been handmade in Uganda for centuries, the skill passed down through the generations. They are traditionally used for carrying on the head, for harvesting crops, for storing and cooking. Decorative baskets are used at ceremonial purposes including presenting gifts at weddings. Each pattern on the basket represent elements and stories of Ugandan culture such as peace, prosperity, and unity.
