Description

This basket was made by the Tonga women in Binga, a district in northern Zimbabwe. The baskets are made from Illala palm leaves and their colours are mostly derived from natural dyes extracted from roots and bark. Tonga baskets are traditionally used for carrying grain.

Tonga baskets are shallow and therefore perfect for wall art. Every basket is unique. You’ll receive the basket shown in the photograph.

Your purchase helps the weavers and their families in establishing independent, sustainable livelihoods.
