Basikete
human history
Basikete. Bag made from seeds of the vaivai tree (Leucaena leucocephala). There are two types of seeds used, one is a small oval shaped brown seed, and the other seed is a circular red seed. The two types of seeds are from both the large and small vaivai tree. They are bored and with black cotton thread threaded through, forming the basikete and belt. The basikete is connected to a strap or possibly a belt with a loose, short chain made of bored brown seeds threaded onto black cotton thread.
