Makalani Bowl 10.25 Inches
14596

Woven by Eusebia Muyeghu

Approximately 10.25 inches across X 4.5 inches deep

In the far north of Namibia, in the Okavango basin, the Kavango and Ovambo people produce traditional woven baskets. They harvest the local Makalani palm leaves and create vegetable-based dyes using age old recipes handed down from their ancestors. Getting the natural dye to soak into the waxy palm leaves is very tricky and some weaving material may be left soaking in a dye bath for more than a week at a time.

Weave quality, basket size, difficulty of producing dye colors, and complexity of pattern all combine to determine the prices on these one-of-a-kind creations.

You will receive the exact basket pictured here.
