Our Deluxe Small Round Colorful African Basket from Africa Heartwood Project is custom designed by the artist herself with any variety of beautiful geometric patterns in assorted colors. Each is unique, like the woman who made it! This is the compact size, measuring about 9-10" round and 6" tall, plus the 3" handle for 9" approximate total height. They're each equipped with durable, soft leather handles and the small 10" size is suitable for use in collecting eggs or herbs, displaying soaps or dish cloths, storing small crafts, or displaying a small pot of flowers, and of course as a stunning home decor accent. ----------- Each deluxe basket in our collection is made from the elephant grass which grows in the rich flood plains of the White Volta near the village of Bolgatanga, Northern Ghana. We love that women artisans, working in family & village co-operatives, hand-weave each basket using traditional techniques handed down from generation to generation. Non-profit Africa Heartwood Project supports the sustainable livelihoods of cultural artisans in developing countries by providing training, investment, and access to global markets. ---------- Your new basket will come either flat-packed or fully-shaped - you choose which! To save money select flat-packed, reducing storage and shipping costs. Easily reshape by simply spraying or immersing in water, shaking of excess water, hand shaping while wet, then allowing to air dry. 5 minutes of basket love and your done! Or, select fully-shaped and you'll get a basket we have already soaked, shaped, and dried, so it comes delivered to you ready to use or display. Either way, we include a care and shaping guide to help you keep your basket looking its best. --------- Pictures and specifications are provided for reference only. Every basket is hand made and unique, but have confidence that your new basket will very closely match the written description and photos."
