Woven Basket – large
£13.00
Handwoven from natural sisal in the traditional Rwandan Agaseke style, this basket is both a practical storage solution and a beautiful decorative piece.
In the Kinyarwanda language, agaseke translates to “small pointed basket”. This is a type of traditional woven basket characterised by its flat circular base that is taller than it is wide, with a sloped conical fitted lid.
Grass baskets were traditionally used in Rwanda to carry gifts and other valuable items given to a friend or a relative, and considered as a symbol of peace, love, and prosperity.
16cm wide, 19cm high.
Available in purple (3), turquoise (1), and green (1)
