Dimensions: ø26xH33cm

Chocho baskets are a beautiful example of traditional craftsmanship and play an important role in the daily lives of the Borana people of Ethiopia. These baskets are carefully crafted by hand, using rope as the basic structure. The process of waterproofing them with resin or fat is essential, as the baskets are often used to store milk, an important part of the Borana diet and culture. The addition of decorative elements, such as metal wire, gives each basket a unique look and reflects the artistic expression and cultural identity of the community. Making Chocho baskets requires not only skill and patience, but also a deep knowledge of the materials and techniques that have been passed down through the generations.
