Description :
Decorative bowls or baskets hand woven in Rwanda, Africa. These baskets were made by women for Rwanda Partners, a non-profit organization, that raised funds especially to help the people of Rwanda following the 1994 genocide. The women formed their own company called "Rwanda Basket Company". Baskets are expertly crafted with colorful fibers and symbolic designs. The artisan uses a "complex and meticulous process that produces vibrant colors and intricate designs." A needle and thread is used to wrap hand-dyed strands of sisal around bunches of fragrant sweetgrass. This process results in a tightly coiled, durable basket.
Dimensions : 11-13 in W
