What Is Basketry?
Basketry is made from a variety of fibrous or pliable materials—anything that will bend and form a shape. While basket weaving is one of the widest spread crafts in the history of human civilization. Because natural materials like wood and grass decay naturally and constantly it is impossible to date basketry properly.
