The Jemima Cow baskets are named after Jemima Akolgo, who was the first artisan to weave this type of basket in Bolgatanga. Since then Akolgo has taught and inspired many of their weavers with her innovative approach to traditional Gurunsi folklore. Through this design, Baba Tree honours local basket traditions while creating exciting forms with the oldest craft in the world.
