Woven African Lidded Basket - Yellow Zig Zag

Handmade by women in West Africa, this beautiful lidded basket is from a local grass called njodax and plastic strips used in the production of bazin mats, which resemble prayer mats. Great gift item, or a thoughtful way to gift homemade cookies.

This basket will have slight variations in design and size.

• size: 12" d x 10" t

This item is fairly made in Africa. It has made its way here today thanks to the hard work of Leslie Mittelberg building a network of artisans across Africa.  Each artisan is able to work from the comfort of their own home and community. The fair payment they receive will not be reduced by traveling expenses, childcare costs or haggled prices. The artisans use their earnings to put food on the table and pay educational expenses for their children.
