Description

You will receive the exact basket pictured above, woven by Saadimunjie Lepile.
Though made using a single weaving style and for the same purpose, each of these baskets is woven in a shape favored by the weaver, and thus each possess a personal flair.
These baskets are woven by women of the pastoralist Rendille and Sambaru peoples. The creation and sale of these baskets serves both to preserve the tradition of this weaving style and to ease economic strain brought on by a changing climate.
Dimensions are approximate, but we do strive to get the measurements accurate within 1/2 inch. Please review the size of this item carefully using a ruler or tape measure before your purchase. See our Shopping FAQs for more information.
