Mokolo Open Palm Basket, traditionally used by Hambukushu farmers in Botswana for storing, transporting, and winnowing harvested cereals. These baskets are handwoven by women in the Okavango River 

Delta using palm fibers and plant-based dyes. The colors are derived from boiling palm leaves with bark and roots of various trees and shrubs. The weaving process involves shredding palm into thin strips, soaking them in water, and wrapping them around an inner coil of grass, using an awl to pierce holes for the palm thread. These baskets are known for their unique patterns and are considered a one-of-a-kind piece of handmade art. They are suitable for home decor and storing household items.
