Description

You will receive the exact basket pictured above.
Like the Sisal bowls, this Peace Basket was creted by stitching fine sisal fibers over grass coils. The result is a soft, smooth surface and a sturdy basket.
Rural weavers in Rwanda of all tribes, including Hutus and Tutsis, work side by side to produce these uniquely woven baskets.
The baskets are a message of reconciliation, peace, and hope for the future.
Baskets are such a powerful symbol of Rwanda’s fresh start that an Agaseke Peace Basket is included at the center of the country’s coat of arms, and is also featured on Rwanda’s 5,000 Franc banknote.
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.
