woven baskets
Braided carrying vessels
Woven baskets are containers made by interlacing flexible materials—typically reeds, willow, bamboo, or grasses—over and under each other to form a sturdy structure.
The craft is ancient and nearly universal across cultures.
Baskets serve for storage, carrying, and decoration: a woven basket of fresh bread, woven baskets hanging on the wall.
