“Bolga Baskets”: A Compendium of Trade Basketry Arts of the Gurene People of Ghana
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Gurene people are domiciled in the Upper East Region of Ghana, and are reputed for producing an assortment of innovative basketry products popularly referred to as “Bolga baskets”. These products are mostly sold to tourists, basketry lovers or exported to Germany, New Zealand, Denmark, Canada, Australia, the United States of America, Zambia and Burkina Faso. This study attempts to document the miscellanea of basketry artefacts produced by the Gurene people over the years. The researcher used an ethnographic research design, and extracted data from 103 respondents using observations, interview guides and focus group discussions. The respondents were sampled using snowball and purposive sampling methods. The data amassed were transcribed and analysed using thematic data analysis techniques in an Nvivo data analysis programme. The study revealed 60 varieties of basketry products which were mostly produced from guinea and vertiveria grass species. Keywords: Bolga baskets, basketry arts, Gurene Basketry, African basketry, African art DOI: 10.7176/ADS/100-02 Publication date: April 30 th 2022

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
