Fruitful Flower Basket

$150.00

In an exacting process done entirely by hand, women master weavers in rural eSwatini use a needle and thread to tightly wrap brightly dyed sisal in stunning detail and pattern. The colorful triangular flower designs of this brilliantly-colored woven basket are based on symbols for male and female fertility, and are an incredible example of the artistry of master basket weavers. Looks stunning on a wall as a decorative basket, or as striking storage on a table or dresser. Dimensions: 3 1/2″h x 12″dia.
