Description of Tonga Basket - Small

Travel to the remote Binga district in Northern Zimbabwe and discover the beautifully crafted Tonga Basket.

Each basket is hand-woven by skilled Tonga women using traditional techniques, resulting in intricately patterned designs. The 16-inch diameter baskets take about 2 weeks to complete and feature a unique coiled rim with a herringbone pattern. Made from locally harvested materials, including wild grasses, small vines, and palm leaves dyed with tree bark, these baskets are not only stunning but also sustainable.

Originally used by the Tonga people for winnowing grains, these baskets now serve as a way for families in developing countries to improve their standard of living through fair trade.

Purchase a Tonga Basket - Small and support the preservation of traditional crafts.

 

Diameter: 13 - 15" **Pattern of each basket will vary** Made in: Zimbabwe
