Baskets in northern and north-eastern Namibia have been traditionally made by women for domestic and agricultural use. Leaves of the wild Hyphaene petersiana palm and natural plant dyes have been used to make these finely woven contemporary baskets. A medium size basket can take up to a week to weave and each one is unique.
