7238 - XL Ukhamba - Lidded Basket
Approx 26 inches Across X 20 inches Tall
To create this traditional basket, weavers use strips of naturally waxy palm fronds. Some baskets are still used for liquid storage in the rural areas of South Africa. Watertight baskets are readied by rubbing wet cornmeal inside. When liquid is added, the coils swell. Some leaks through, evaporates, and cools the contents. Designs carry cultural significance and many large baskets are traditionally given at weddings.
Quality of weave and size combine to determine prices on these beautiful baskets.
