In the ancient tradition of African weaving, come new, yet old, works of art and utility. Traditionally, handwoven trays, bowls, and baskets are utilized to hold everything from fruits, vegetables, grains, and bread, to market purchases, to laundry. Baskets are also used as gifts and for ceremonial purposes.
This multicolored bowl is a superb example of the genius of African weaving. This delight is created by artists of the Nubian tribe of Uganda. It is similar in coloring and design to the glorious Nubian trays. The weaving fibers are from the Ilala palm, Raffia, and Ncebe wild banana. The colors are natural, being either the native shade of the plant, or from various indigenous roots, leaves, berries, and other materials, usually soaked and boiled for many days.
It can be hung, propped up for admiration, or used for display and to hold items. It is a true collector's piece, beautiful decor, educationally rich, and the perfect present!
There are over 200 amazing African hand woven baskets in a vast array of styles, sizes, colors, and designs created just for you; please visit, browse, and fall in love! And don't forget to see the wonderful telephone wire creations, too!
Please note that this piece is handmade of organic materials. It will show the natural flaws and personal qualities of its origin. We feel this adds immensely to its individual value! Measurements are approximate, and pictures are representative of the basic theme only. Each basket is unique!
