Quantity:

The BaTonga tribe from Zimbabwe have been making baskets from the Ilala Palm leaves for centuries and are very well known for their weaving skills. We have taken these baskets into ourstudio in Cape Town andhavepainstakinglyadorned them with beautiful glass beads. It is a long process of picking individual beads onto cotton thread, then attaching strands of beads onto wire and then using a technique to attach to the baskets. Please note each basket weaving design is unique and you will receive something similar to the images. Product Specification Size: Between 40 - 55cm, 16-21" Please note these baskets are measured from the top of the basket around the side to the bottom and then to the middle of the base of the basket. Made in Zimbabwe and Cape Town
