Rwandans produce many beautiful crafts. Women weave baskets and mats from banana leaves, grasses and papyrus fibres. Geometrical designs, usually in black, white and red, are often woven into these objects. It is considered a sign of wealth and status to own many decorated baskets and mats. In addition to these objects, women make practical items from banana leaves, such as pot holders and the coils that they put on their heads to support burdens. Men do woodcarving and make drums, pipes for smoking, stools, knife handles, bowls and jugs.
