Description
A wonderful sisal handwoven basket featuring a geometrical design in brown and a dark, muted blue.
The Sisal Handwoven Basket handwoven by the weavers of Eswatini (formerly known as Swaziland). This basket is woven from sisal fibers derived from the agave plant. Each basket is meticulously woven, resulting in a unique design that reflects the artisan's expertise and creativity. The fibers are hand-dyed using natural dyes and are both a practical storage solution but also a decorative accent that adds authentic African style to any space.
