Sudanese Coffee Sitting: The pattern draws on Sudanese henna and includes dried hibiscus flowers. She focused on elements from Sudanese coffee sittings: bakhoor (incense), coffee cups, and homemade biscuits. These are simple essentials of the tradition.
Tabag: The tabag is a traditional woven food cover deeply embedded in Sudanese culture, particularly in the Darfur region.
Crafted primarily by women, the tabag is both a practical and symbolic item, designed to cover food while also serving as a unique means of communication.
This form of basketry uses local materials like palm leaves and grasses, which are dyed and woven into vibrant, intricate patterns.
Although used to cover food, the tabag holds a broader social and cultural significance, as it has historically been used to communicate messages to local leaders, including figures like the Sultan Ali Dinar of Darfur ( SSLH )
