Woven basket – medium

£10.00

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.

9cm wide, 16cm high.

Available in purple (5), turquoise (1), and green (1).
