The tradition of handcrafting baskets has been a part of the Zambian culture for centuries and is passed down from generation to generation. These hand-dyed and crafted baskets are woven from dried palm leaves woven between interlocking structures of twigs.

Natural fiber basket weaving is a labor-intensive and highly skilled craft and these natural and eco-positive trays are multi-functional for either storage or serving. Traditionally these baskets were used to keep foodstuff or for winnowing purposes. You can use these baskets just for decoration, or as a decorative way to store and display food, toys, magazines -- just about anything.

21" Basket Measures 5" high x 21" diameter
24" Basket Measures 5" high x 24" diameter
26" Basket Measures 6" high x 26" diameter
33" Basket Measures 6.5" high x 33" diameter

Handmade in Zambia and fair trade imported.
