Thank you for viewing.

Diameter: Approximately 42cm
Thickness: Approximately 6cm

This basket was carefully woven by a tribe in Zimbabwe, one by one.
The materials are locally sourced, including small grape vines and Ilala palm leaves.
Each basket takes about two weeks to create, with unique designs and structures. There is no identical design, and they are characterized by traditional motifs such as stripes, spiderwebs, and lightning woven into them.

The overall construction is somewhat rustic, so please consider purchasing only if you understand that there may be imperfections such as warping or scratches.

Primitive interiors are popular these days, so it is also recommended to use them as wall art, displaying several different sizes on the wall.

As there is no suitable box for shipping, it will be wrapped in new plastic and packaged simply.

I believe I bought this about 7 years ago at a shop called Hug O' War in Tokyo.
The craftsmanship is very detailed and beautiful!
I have been storing it hanging on the wall, so I think the color has faded slightly from when I first got it, but it has a nice texture and can still be used.
Please use it beautifully, such as for holding plenty of fruit or drying herbs from the garden.
I haven't actually used it much, so as far as I can see, there are no stains.
