Woven by the women of Nkuringo, all these Ugandan Baskets
are of traditional design. Each artisan has developed her own style and personally
tags and signs her work. Each basket takes between 20-30 hours to weave.
Most of the women have to walk several hours to a well for fresh water
each day and there is no electricity to work in the evening, so each basket
can often take weeks to complete. There will always be variation
in size, shape and color as each artist has her own style and the color
of the grasses vary as the seasons change.
