## Title Ayeratukko Art Basket by Nyaamah Ayinbillah

## Subtitle A 27.5 by 20.5 inch heirloom-tier basket hand-woven in Bolgatanga, Ghana. Named for the massive nests Ghanaian weaver-birds build. Weeks of one weavers work.

## Description The ayeratukko is a Ghanaian weaver-bird's nest - a massive, structurally complex construction the bird builds from grass strands knotted together over weeks. The bird is small. The nest is enormous. The Bolga weavers in Ghana's Upper East Region named this basket after that bird because the structure is similar: layered, knotted, large enough to hold a household and the bird-architecture that inspired the form.

Nyaamah Ayinbillah is one of Baba Tree's most experienced weavers. This basket is twenty-seven and a half inches across and twenty inches tall - heirloom scale. It takes weeks of focused work to complete: cut grass, twist into rope, hand-weave radially, finish the rim. The leather and the dye and the weaving pattern are her hands.

This is the African heirloom tier of the catalog.

Every purchase funds one sauna session for one cancer patient. Fifteen hundred dollars takes weeks of one weaver's patient work and funds many sauna sessions. The asymmetry is the point.
