Emese uses the leaves of an old maize variety that her parents cultivate in the field to make these small baskets. On the way from the loose leaves of the corn on the cob to the finished basket, spinning, weaving and braiding is involved. The smaller corn baskets are approx. 7 cm high and have a diameter of approx. 18 cm.
Use and disposal:
The corn baskets are very resilient and can be cleaned with lukewarm water. Then they should be briefly placed in the sun because the UV bleaches the corn leaves again as if by magic. At the end of its life, the corn basket can be composted or burned.
