Details

This handwoven decorative basket featuring bold blues and greens with a classic checkerboard pattern makes an extraordinary impact. Women weavers in the Bolgatanga region of Ghana are earning a sustainable income as they craft these distinctive elephant grass baskets using traditional techniques, patterns, and colors. Due to handmade nature, size, shape, and color may vary. Dimensions: Approx. 16"h x 14 1/2"dia.

Reshaping Your Bolgatanga Basket: Our artisan partners fold this basket in order to ship more efficiently. To remove creases and restore its shape, dampen basket with a spray bottle or other water source, or by submerging in water for 1 minute. Let it rest for 5 minutes to allow grass to absorb the moisture and become pliable. Bend and press the basket into shape - don't worry, it won't break. Allow it to air dry before use and enjoy your beautiful handwoven basket from Ghana!

Love these baskets

I love my basket. I waited for nearly a year for this to come back in stock. It was worth the wait. The colors are beautiful and the quality excellent. I couldn't be happier.
