These gorgeous Tonga baskets are expertly handcrafted by artisans from the Luangwa Artisan Collective in Zambia. Traditionally used for winnowing maize, these baskets are handwoven together with natural palm leaves and dyed with bark and roots to create the intricate designs. Light and beautiful, these baskets make for beautiful wall or table decor.
The artisans from Luangwa Artisan Collective are independent artisans that work out from Tribal Textiles, and proceeds go directly to them and their families. While the technique is the same, each artisan has his own way of weaving and dying, making each piece unique in its own special way.
This basket measures 12" in circumference. We recommend pairing with the Large Tonga Basket.
