Rwenzori Raffia Shallow Basket/Bowl | 11"

This basket/bowl is one of the thinnest coil and therefore finest quality woven basket in Africa. The design is among the most intricate, demonstrating the very advanced skill of the women who make these in Uganda, near the Ruwenzori Mountains. This one is relatively small which affords the woman who made it to show off her exceptional basket weaving ability at a lower cost. We think these are the most beautiful and finest quality baskets we have ever seen, reflecting the unbelievable ingenuity of these amazing Ugandan artisans. Locally available natural dyes are used to create the vibrant colors which contribute to the beauty of these baskets This basket measures 11 1/4" in diameter x 2" deep.
