Description

Agaseke symbolised a good family. When a girl got married, she would stay with her parents-in- law for a specific period of time before going to live with her husband. During her stay, she was required to make Agaseke which she would eventually give her mother-in-law as a gift. And if she failed to finish weaving the basket before that period, she would be labeled ‘lazy’. It would also be interpreted as a result of poor training by the girl’s parents. This explains why girls today carry Ubuseke on their wedding ceremonies.

 

 

With modernity, however, the role of Agaseke has been watered down. Today Agaseke  is widely viewed as a decoration tool and source of income. However, the government of Rwanda has used Agaseke in the Rwanda Court of Arms to symbolize the value of storing food. The changes notwithstanding, “Agaseke was and still is the heart of  the Rwandan culture’’
