    This kiondo (kee-yon/-doh) is a basket found in the Kamba tribe area of Kenya that women make from yarn woven around a sisal frame. Traditionally, the sisal fibers are worked either dyed or not. For many village weavers all over Kenya, weaving is more of a way of earning a little extra money, a craft done once all other daily responsibilities are met. The Kamba tribe, or Akamba, are known for their exceptional woodcarving and basketry skills. The men do the carving while Kamba women weave and decorate the fine work in baskets and pottery.
