Bangladeshi artisans make a variety of sturdy baskets from kaisa grass. This square basket features interwoven ribbons of green with natural tan kaisa.

Kaisa is a sturdy wild grass that dries from its natural light green to a pale, almost tan color. Artisans cut kaisa grass from riverbanks during the monsoon season, leaving the roots for the next year’s crop. Later growth of kaisa is thicker and stronger, and is used to make fences in the villages.
