A traditional Moroccan basket known as a "tbaq." This basket is handmade using a local dried grass that is wound with colorful wool thread into one-of-a-kind designs. Originally these baskets were used for bread making but nowadays they can be functional or decorative.
Born in Talsint in 1974 Zahra is married and has two daughters. Zahra completed her studies through the fifth grade. She learned how to make baskets from her older sister and has a little experience with weaving rugs. Zahra does sewing work on the side and studies the Koran in her spare time. This is Zahraβs first experience being a member of an association. Zahra hopes that the teaching and education around handicraft will continue because it is a source of strength for many families in Talsint.
