One of the oldest cultural traditions in South Carolina is the making of sweetgrass baskets.  It is a craft that was brought over on the slave ships from Africa in the mid 1800's and still practiced today.  The woman whose hands are pictured here also made the baskets shown below.

All photos were taken at an indoor market with the Nikon D7000 and 24-70mm f/2.8 zoom lens at ISO 800.
