Measures approximately 17"diameter x 2" depth.
Made in: Zambia
Backstory:
In rural Zambia near Victoria Falls, each Toka woman traditionally receives a basket on the occasion of her wedding. Thus, the name "Wedding Basket" is given to this style of basket. Meticulously harvesting the tough roots of the Makenge bush, boiling until soft, coloring the roots with natural plant dyes—many steps must occur before weaving begins. Only highly skilled Toka craftswomen are able to weave these baskets. Each weaver adds one-of-a-kind patterns conveying messages of beauty, marriage and family.
