A beautiful scenery created by crafts

The National Basket and Crafts Exhibition that started last month has been a real eye-catcher. From carefully crafted animal skin mats to the neatly assembled baskets on the floor, the gallery looks lively with original African crafts. The artists who submitted their pieces were clearly creative individuals. 

The leather mats were designed using different pieces of hide from various species cut in different shapes - circles, triangles and rectangles consequently producing beautiful leather collage. The baskets made out of reed are mostly from the Okavango and Ngamiland regions.
