This might seem like another post about #donkeys (and okay it kind of is) but what caught my eye was actually the basket - a reminder that many of the things we use plastic for today used to be done with woven grasses or straw made into baskets, mats, etc. Much more sustainable. And mor attractive. This is a floor mosaic from Constantinople in the 500s AD. #baskets #historyofbaskets #constantinople #donkeys #historyofdonkeys #earlymedieval #lateroman #justinian #sustainableliving #plastic #sustainability
