In the ancient tradition of African weaving, come new, yet old, works of art and utility. This beautiful piece is meant to carry and hold grains, fruits, vegetables, and prepared foods. Baskets are also used as gifts, decorative items, and for ceremonial purposes.
The weaving fibers on this delight are mostly raffia, with occasionally palm leaves. The colors are natural, being either the native shade of the plant, or from various indigenous roots, leaves, berries, and other materials, usually soaked and boiled for many days.
It is designed to be decorative on a table or shelf, or used for an eyecatching display of fruits, vegetables, gourds, leaves, and other natural wonders. It is a true collector's piece, beautiful decor, educationally rich, and the perfect present!
There are over a hundred amazing African hand woven baskets in a vast array of styles, sizes, colors, and designs created just for you; please visit, browse, and fall in love! And don't forget to see the wonderful telephone wire creations, too!
Please note that this piece is handmade of organic materials. It will show the natural flaws and personal qualities of its origin. We feel this adds immensely to its individual value! Measurements are approximate and averages of this type of basket.
