Product Description

The BaTonga tribe in Zambia and Zimbabwe are very closely related due to the fact that the two countries used to be one known as Rhodesia. These baskets are made in the Munyumbwe area of Zambia. The BaTonga tribe's baskets are always very sturdy and strong due to the double walled weaving style the locals in this region have created.

These baskets are also still used in their traditional purpose of carrying harvested grains back from the fields for families to prepare.

Hand-crafted in rural Zambia from dried palm leaves, this statement basket is a perfect centerpiece to your wall basket collection or as a tabletop accent. 

Please note that, due to the handmade nature no two of these distinctive baskets will ever be exactly the same and there may be slight variations in size and design.

Ethically made, handwoven in Zambia.
