10107 - Large Binga Shallow Bowl
10107 - Large Binga Shallow Bowl
Approx 16-19 inches across X 2.5-3.5 inches deep

The remote Binga district is home to the severely disadvantaged BaTonga people. In the early 1960's, their fertile lands were permanently buried in water during construction of one of the largest man-made lakes in the world, Lake Kariba, and they were forced to relocate. Today, some women traditionally still use wild grasses and palm leaves dyed with tree bark to weave intricately patterned baskets. The basket would normally be used for winnowing maize in Zimbabwe but this basket looks amazing when placed on a wall in your home or framed in a shadow box.

You will receive this exact basket.
