Endiro Baskets embody the distinct essence of our Ankole culture, rooted in the western part of Uganda. Crafted through intricate handweaving, these baskets utilize naturally sourced sweet grass, imbued with organic dyes that enhance their ornamental qualities. Historically, these baskets have held a significant role as cherished offerings presented to brides during traditional Ankole weddings. Their primary function lies in serving Karo (millet bread), a cornerstone of our renowned culinary heritage. Beyond this, Endiro baskets have evolved to encompass diverse roles, serving as both embellishments within living and workspace environments, as well as receptacles for safeguarding treasures such as earrings and other valuables.
