Notes
Daisy Mvoti is represented by Tintsaba, a project designed to facilitate the financial independence and artistic growth of women from the Hhohho district in rural eSwatini. Founded in 1985 by Sheila Freemantle, Tintsaba began with 12 local women and has grown into a globally recognised name for refined basketry with numerous awards.
Sisal is the common name for Agave Sisalana. It can be found in most areas of eSwatini, and is regarded as an exotic and invasive weed. Sisal has always been used to make rope, twine, handcraft and stockades.
Mvoti is one of Tintsaba's Master Weavers, meaning her basket designs boast a blend of colour and design to create unique masterpieces.
