All of our woven bowls are created from dyed natural sisal fibers woven over a core of forest grasses. The weavers begin in the middle of the basket, carefully threading the sisal around and around to create this beautiful design.

The large woven bowl is flat on the bottom and makes a beautiful tray for serving or display. The small bowl is a beautiful way to hold jewelry or keys, or it may be filled with small treats and used as a gift basket.  Each Zubita Woven Bowl has four loops on the back for hanging, allowing for the bowl to be positioned just how you like.

The Handcrafted Details

• Dimensions:  small bowl 7″ d, large bowl 16″ d
• Each bowl takes 1-3 days to make.

Across the thousand hills of Rwanda, groups of women are sitting together, weaving sisal baskets in the traditional way. The sisal fiber is extracted from the long leaf of a plant that resembles aloe. When the green fleshy part of the leaf is stripped away, white string-like fibers remain.  These fibers are cleaned and dried, cooked in dye, and then woven into traditional forms- such as the peaked peace basket, or less traditional forms- like earrings or napkin rings.

The peace basket is still used in Rwanda for special gift giving. Many local homes have these baskets proudly displayed, or put to practical use holding dry goods like beans or rice.

The Handcrafted Details

• An artisan weaves for 4-5 days to complete one basket.
• Hand-woven from natural sisal fibers.
• The naturally-white fibers are dyed with Rwandan tea leaves, creating a 100% natural product.
• Approximately 9 inches tall.
• Care: Dust with a dry cloth.

Hand-woven with natural sisal fibers, these beautiful coasters are a great addition to your home decor.
