She belongs to a special group of women that are experts in weaving baskets from a liana type of creeper called mere / ula. Sera's mother, aunties, grandmother, grandfather are all weavers of mere/ula. The finished product can be seen on the table, infront of her. The brown part is made from mangrove bark, boiled and the mere wire is soaked in it. It can take Sera half a day to complete weaving one of these. Different sizes come at different prices. You can place your orders. Good job Sera !
