Item Details
Description
Tutsi basket. Tiny, tightly woven baskets were created by elite Tutsi women as gifts for loved ones, or to hold trinkets or cosmetics. The usual warm golden color is here contrasted with darker bands with a zig-zag pattern.. The black dye is created by boiling the sap of the banana flower, and the intricate pattern required careful counting by the weaver. 5"h Provenance: Paul B. Travis collection- Paul B. Travis brought this item back when he traveled through East Africa in 1928.
