EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases five exquisite Tutsi miniature baskets, originating from Rwanda and Burundi during the first half of the 20th century. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, these baskets are made from grass and adorned with black and red dye, creating a striking visual contrast. Each basket in this collection possesses its own unique charm and character. Ranging in size from 28 to 33 centimeters in height, they showcase the incredible skill of African artisans who have mastered the art of coil sewing. The conical lids add an element of elegance to these tribal artworks known as agaseki. The intricate craftsmanship displayed in these miniature baskets is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Tutsi people. They serve as both functional objects for storage purposes and artistic expressions that reflect their traditional way of life. This particular print captures every intricate detail, allowing viewers to appreciate the beauty and craftsmanship up close. It is a valuable addition to any private collection or art enthusiast's space. Photographed by Heini Schneebeli, this image perfectly encapsulates the essence of these Tutsi miniature baskets while preserving their historical significance for generations to come. Bridgeman Images presents this remarkable piece without mentioning commercial use but rather focuses on celebrating African tribal art at its finest.
