(Baonghean) - The basket is a tool used to carry goods and objects during transportation and work by some ethnic groups such as the Thai, Mong, and Khmu... Baskets are usually made of rattan, bamboo, and woven forest vines for the handles. It is a product of skillful hands, intimately connected to the lives of the people in the mountainous regions, especially the women. In the highlands, the image of a basket swaying on the back, on the shoulder, or even tied around the forehead of the elderly women is a familiar and touching sight. The basket, in that moment, also embodies the diligence and patience of the people. Carrying it to the fields, to the market, to the forest, to wading through streams... the basket is like a shadow to the people of the highlands.
We would like to introduce to our readers images of baskets, which also reflect beautiful moments of labor of women in the highlands of Nghe An, captured by our contributor Ho Phuong:
