A small basket with lid for all of your storage needs. This basket has been woven by women artisans of wolof community in Senegal. Basket weaving has been practiced in Senegal for generations. Traditionally baskets are woven by binding cattail stalks, a thick local grass, with thin strips of palm frond. Palm fronds are difficult to work with and are rough on the hands of the weavers, so strips of plastic have replaced palm fronds to reduce discomfort during the weaving process. Plastic used for basket weaving is recycled from prayer mats. 

Basket measures 8.5" in diameter and 8.5" in height. This is a handcrafted item, so product may vary slightly in color and craft from the images.

This product is made in Senegal, Africa.

Ideal for storage or colorful decor, each handwoven Bolga planter makes an extraordinary impact. In one of the most impoverished areas of Ghana, women weavers are earning a sustainable income as they craft these distinctive elephant grass baskets using traditional techniques, patterns, and colors. Due to handmade nature, size may vary. 

In order to ship more efficiently, our artisan partners fold this basket for packing. To remove creases, slightly dampen the basket, reshape, and air dry. Dimensions: Sm: 6"h x 6"dia; Lg: 8"h x 8"dia.

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.
