The name of basket in my language is “Hete”.
This basket is used during custom marriage where the bride’s family fills the basket with yam (root crop) during the ceremony of handing over the bride to the groom’s families. The yam’s she can replant again where she settles with her new family.
Materials used: Bark of Burao tree (Natural)
