Basket Weavers
Karbabad village on Bahrain’s north coast is famous for its basket weavers who deftly weave palm stems and fronds into baskets and mats of all shapes and sizes.  The palm fronds are occasionally dyed, usually green and purple, thereby allowing the weavers to incorporate bright and attractive splashes of colour into their designs.
