Ideal for storing various items, its vibrant colors and intricate patterns not only enhance your space but also symbolize the rich cultural heritage of the Rwandan people. ## Description Meticulously handwoven in a rural mountain village, using locally-sourced native sweet grasses and fine sisal fiber, this basket comes with a beautiful story. The clean angles of a geometric pattern and a contrasty hand-dyed neutral palette give it a modern feel; an elegant finish to any room. Handwoven by a cooperative of women, tucked away in the Rwenzori Mountains, each basket takes weeks to complete. Made exclusively in a fair trade environment. Our baskets are sturdy, strong, and flexible, made to withstand constant use. If properly cared for, your basket will live a long life. This is an unusual wide-mouthed, straight-sided coil weave African basket that works great for storing things in your home or office. Large baskets are traditionally given as wedding presents, and the patterns and designs on the basket carry cultural significance about the ceremony. These baskets are all-natural. The dyes are made from materials as diverse as flower petals and mud. Some colors are very rare due to difficulty in obtaining enough of the dying materials, other colors are only available certain times of year when specific flowers bloom or other conditions are satisfied to grow and harvest the materials used in the creation of the dyes. Collection of these baskets in Rwanda is challenging to say the least. Hundreds of miles are driven on dirt roads to go village-to-village and hut-to-hut collecting baskets from each individual weaver. The quality of weaving and size of basket combine to determine prices on these stunning creations. Dust your woven basket on a regular basis, wiping with a damp cloth if necessary. No other cleaning should be necessary. Changes in temperature and humidity may cause your basket to expand and contract, which may make securing the lid difficult at times. Be patient and wait for the weather to change or remove from areas with high humidity (like bathrooms). ## Features - 1.Dimension: (7” Wide and 5” High) Materials: Sisal Fiber and Sweet Grass - 2.Hand woven in Rwanda, this beautiful Rwandan cannister-shaped basket has a flat disk lid that rests on top. - 3.These coil-stitched baskets are created using the most difficult weaving techniques, tightly wrapping smooth native sweet grasses and fine sisal fiber.
