My nephew from Wash DC just called to tell me he received this gorgeous basket from Ghana for his birthday... and he was thrilled with it. He unpacked it and their tiger cat immediately jumped into it, hoping it was for him. My nephew is African - American and really appreciates the skills that go into making this basket. His family is happy that they will have it at home. This is a superior basket of beauty. Check out the photo... and then order one for a friend or yourself.
