According to ancient tradition, Bedouin women in Oman and Yemen weave baskets of palm fiber and leather. We offer here small baskets, which are braided in the form of a calabash. With a lid of a round piece of leather as the basis for the wickerwork, the basket is closed. A leather strap (probably goatskin) is interwoven with jewelry and is also used as a carrying handle.
The basket is suitable as a gift box (for example, for our frankincense or oil) or for storing other small gifts from the Orient.
Palm fibers braided with (goat) leather
Dimensions approx .: height 9 cm, diameter at least 9 cm
The basket is handmade by Bedouins from Oman and Yemen. Oman is not an absolute low-wage country like many Asian countries. Therefore, arts and crafts from Oman have their price! But it is authentic!
