▪︎ABOUT
The berbers take their inspirations from their life and surroundings. The symbols on this basket depict that life. Being in the mountains, it is only natural for them to be from what is around them, animals, insects, plants and flowers. It can also be of life and fertitility, festivals and celebrations. Other symbols included in this piece are camel, man, vehicles and teapots, making this piece one with full of stories!
