Did you know this about the Cone-Shaped Basket?
This unique work of art known as “Nkok” in the Oku language is the artistic work of the Oku woman and it is for women only. It is carried on the back and used principally for transporting farm produce and firewood.
Therefore, the beautiful design is not a mere accident but, a well calculated combination of artistry and mechanics that checks load weight on the carrier's back.

That's a masterpiece of our local African technology. Our ancestors weren't dumb at all.
