This intricate handwoven basket is made in Rwanda, Africa by skilled artisans. It is made with coiled sisal fibers that are wrapped in organically dyed sweetgrass fibers. All fibers are naturally sourced in Rwanda. It makes a perfect addition to your serving ware as a nut bowl, can be used as an entryway bowl for keys and change, or use it in the bedroom to hold jewelry. Place the basket in a bookshelf to add interest. If necessary, use a damp cloth to wipe the basket clean.
Rwanda is located in East/Central Africa and is known as “the land of a thousand hills.” It has beautiful landscapes, from rivers and lakes to volcanoes and dense tropical forests.
These baskets carry a special symbolism in Rwanda: friends give them to one another to celebrate life milestones and they are proudly displayed as a reflection of abundance in friendship, family and life.
All baskets are ethically sourced and fair trade. Each purchase empowers women weavers in Rwanda giving them independence and a stable, improved standard of living.
