These beautiful baskets measure approximately 10 inches
The handles are bound with cow hide to make them more comfortable to hold.
They can be used for tiny gifts, small craft projects, craft materials, soaps, and all manner of things.
They are made by hand by a group of weavers in Bolgatanga, Northern Ghana. The grasses used to weave them grow wild and are gathered, prepared and naturally dyed by members of the group, ready to be woven into a unique, biodegradable piece. The women deal with their finances themselves, so are treated fairly. They also receive a large premium to be spent on community projects of their choice.
Every one is slightly different and will be supplied squashed (as it arrived from Ghana). They are easy to reshape following the instructions which will be included.
