Sweetgrass baskets are traditional crafts originating from the Gullah culture of the Lowcountry region in the southeastern United States. Made from natural materials like sweetgrass, pine needles, and bulrush, these baskets are known for their intricate designs and durability. Artisans weave the baskets by hand, often using techniques passed down through generations. Sweetgrass, which has a pleasant aroma, is harvested and dried before being used in the weaving process. These baskets serve both functional and decorative purposes, showcasing the rich cultural heritage of the Gullah people.
