The sisal plant is in the Agave family and its fibers are so known for strength that modern industry is increasingly using them as environmentally friendly strengthening agents to replace harmful substances such as asbestos and fiberglass in production of things like automotive brake pads. Each fiber harvested, dried, hand dyed, dried again, then rolled against the weavers leg until the perfect weaving strand is drawn out. An average of 30 hours per basket makes these one of the most labor intensive of all African baskets for their size. As a bowl gets larger, it takes more and more time to weave because the coils on each row become much longer as the bowl flares upwards and outwards. So adding 1 row at the top of the basket, could be equivalent to weaving 5 rows or more in the base of the basket. This is the reason the larger baskets are more unusual and take so much more time to create, which affects the pricing accordingly. They are traditionally given as gifts and symbolize long and happy life. You will receive the exact beautiful basket pictured above. http://www.basketsfromafrica.com/items/swazi-sisal-baskets/8869-detail.htmhttp://www.basketsfromafrica.com/browse_item_details.asp/Item_Id/1370657/categ_id/3642Zulu Wire BasketsSat, 11 Apr 2009 13:44:00 PST Approx 12.5 inches Tall X 9.5 inches Wide To create this traditional basket, weavers use strips of naturally waxy palm fronds wrapped around coils of wild grasses. 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. All natural dyes are made from materials as diverse as flower petals and mud. Some colors are very rare due to difficulty in obtaining enough of the dying materials, other colors are only available certain times of year when specific flowers bloom or other conditions are satisfied to produce the materials used in the creation of the dyes. Collection of these baskets in Zululand, South Africa is challenging to say the least. Hundreds of miles are driven on dirt roads to go village to village and hut to hut collecting baskets from each individual weaver.

Handwoven out of telephone wire, the mezmerizing colors and patterns put a modern twist on traditional basket weaving in South Africa. Sometimes called hard wire baskets for the stiffness of the walls, weavers wrap coils of telephone wire around a solid metal core, which results in the substantial weight of this basket. This technique lends itself to the weaving of patterns made famous by traditional Zulu beadwork and also the weaving of picture plates. This basket style is the most time consuming of all the wire baskets to weave. Wash gently with warm soapy water. In the larger sizes, adding just one row to the outer rim while weaving can take 10 times longer than a row at the inside. This is why you will see the prices get exponentially higher as the sizes get larger. Just adding an inch to this type of basket could represent an extra week or more of work on a large basket.

Lutindzi grass is a sedge and grows in tufts only in the cracks of rocks. Each blade grows in a sheath and pulls out easily when harvested so it does not damage the roots of the grass - which quickly regenerates and sends out more shoots. This strong grass has been used in Swaziland for hundreds of years to make ropes for tying down roofing thatch. High up in the mountains of Swaziland, over 700 women support themselves by weaving these baskets. The weaving techniques are passed on from mother to daughter, preserving cultural integrity in this proud nation that is ruled by the last true king on earth.

The sisal plant is in the Agave family and its fibers are so known for strength that modern industry is increasingly using them as environmentally friendly strengthening agents to replace harmful substances such as asbestos and fiberglass in production of things like automotive brake pads. Each fiber harvested, dried, hand dyed, dried again, then rolled against the weavers leg until the perfect weaving strand is drawn out. An average of 30-40 hours per basket makes these one of the most labor intensive of all African baskets for their size. As a bowl gets larger, it takes more and more time to weave because the coils on each row become much longer as the bowl flares upwards and outwards. So adding 1 row at the top of the basket, could be equivalent to weaving 5 rows or more in the base of the basket. This is the reason the larger baskets are more unusual and take so much more time to create, which affects the pricing accordingly.

As a bowl gets larger, it takes more and more time to weave because the coils on each row become much longer as the bowl flares upwards and outwards. So adding 1 row at the top of the basket, could be equivalent to weaving 5 rows or more in the base of the basket. This is the reason the larger baskets are more unusual and take so much more time to create, which affects the pricing accordingly.

The Rwenzori mountains in the weavers area seem a bit out of place in Africa with their snow and glacier covered peaks of close to 17,000 feet. Traditionally used for serving food, baskets are woven from discarded Millet stalks, naturally dyed raffia and sometimes local grasses. The natural portions are dried millet leaves. The vibrant natural dyes used on the raffia for these tightly woven baskets come from flowers, roots, leaves and lichens grown by the weavers themselves.

This strong grass has been used in Swaziland for hundreds of years to make ropes for tying down roofing thatch. High up in the mountains of Swaziland, over 700 women support themselves by weaving these baskets. The weaving techniques are passed on from mother to daughter, preserving cultural integrity in this proud nation that is ruled by the last true king on earth. You will receive the exact basket pictured above. http://www.basketsfromafrica.com/items/swazi-lutindzi-grass/11991-detail.htmhttp://www.basketsfromafrica.com/browse_item_details.asp/Item_Id/3343633/categ_id/3642Zulu Wire BasketsTue, 14 Apr 2009 13:32:00 PST Approx 13-15 inches Across X 5-6 inches Deep The colors of Africa come alive in these grass baskets handwoven in Swaziland.

The sisal plant is in the Agave family and its fibers are so known for strength that modern industry is increasingly using them as environmentally friendly strengthening agents to replace harmful substances such as asbestos and fiberglass in production of things like automotive brake pads. Each fiber harvested, dried, hand dyed, dried again, then rolled against the weaver's leg until the perfect weaving strand is drawn out. An average of 30-40 hours per basket makes these one of the most labor intensive of all African baskets for their size. As a bowl gets larger, it takes more and more time to weave because the coils on each row become much longer as the bowl flares upwards and outwards. So adding 1 row at the top of the basket, could be equivalent to weaving 5-7 rows or more in the base of the basket. This is the reason the larger baskets are more unusual and take so much more time to create, which affects the pricing accordingly. They are traditionally given as gifts and symbolize long and happy life.

These Swazi baskets are the highest quality baskets woven in Swaziland, and among the highest quality woven in the world. Each basket is peer reviewed and priced according to a dozen different criteria of weave quality. This highly collectible basket was handmade in Swaziland from Sisal fibers gathered from the sisal plant (a weed). The sisal plant is in the Agave family and its fibers are so known for strength that modern industry is increasingly using them as environmentally friendly strengthening agents. Each fiber harvested, dried, hand dyed, dried again, then rolled against the weaver's leg until the perfect weaving strand is drawn out. It can take up to a month or more to make a single large Masterweave Basket. As a bowl gets larger, it takes more and more time to weave because the coils on each row become much longer as the bowl flares upwards and outwards. So adding 1 row at the top of a larger basket, could be equivalent to weaving 10-12 rows or more in the base of the basket.

These Swazi baskets are the highest quality baskets woven in Swaziland, and among the highest quality woven in the world. Each basket is peer reviewed and priced according to a dozen different criteria of weave quality. This highly collectible basket was handmade in Swaziland from Sisal fibers gathered from the sisal plant (a weed). The sisal plant is in the Agave family and its fibers are so known for strength that modern industry is increasingly using them as environmentally friendly strengthening agents. Each fiber harvested, dried, hand dyed, dried again, then rolled against the weaver's leg until the perfect weaving strand is drawn out. It can take up to a month or more to make a single large Masterweave Basket. As a bowl gets larger, it takes more and more time to weave because the coils on each row become much longer as the bowl flares upwards and outwards. So adding 1 row at the top of a larger basket, could be equivalent to weaving 10-12 rows or more in the base of the basket. This is the reason the larger baskets are more unusual and take so much more time to create, which affects the pricing accordingly. They are traditionally given as gifts and symbolize long and happy life. You will receive the exact beautiful basket pictured above. http://www.basketsfromafrica.com/items/swazi-sisal-baskets/13424-detail.htmhttp://www.basketsfromafrica.com/browse_item_details.asp/Item_Id/4526944/categ_id/3642Zulu Wire BasketsSat, 21 Nov 2009 16:27:00 PST 10.5 inches Across X 3.75 inches Deep The Masterweave Collection baskets are the pinnacle of basket weaving.

So adding 1 row at the top of a larger basket, could be equivalent to weaving 10-12 rows or more in the base of the basket. This is the reason the larger baskets are more unusual and take so much more time to create, which affects the pricing accordingly. They are traditionally given as gifts and symbolize long and happy life.
