Description
- You will receive a basket nearly identical to the basket pictured above.
- The Mossi people from the Sanmatenga Province of central Burkina Faso construct these interesting sieve baskets from very heavy straw.
- These deep baskets are used for sifting through tamarind fruit. The young green fruits are very bitter but can be combined with poisonous yams to make them edible. The older fruits are used mostly as flavoring in other dishes.
- Use as a rustic home décor or for storage.
- 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.
