Following African traditions, baskets of coiled grasses were originally produced by slaves on Lowcountry plantations for agricultural use. Over time, sweetgrass baskets have become artistic expressions that retain the African aesthetic — a symbol of African American culture and a signature of the Lowcountry region

Sweetgrass baskets are a cherished African American art form, primarily created by Gullah Geechee artisans in the Lowcountry of South Carolina (especially around Charleston and Mount Pleasant). This tradition stands as one of the oldest continuously practiced African-derived crafts in the United States, dating back over 300 years.
