- You will receive the exact basket pictured above.
- These beautiful baskets come from a group of women weaving in Southern Uganda. The Rwenzori mountains in the weavers’ area seem a bit out of place in Africa with their snow and glacier covered peaks of close to 17,000 feet.
- Traditionally used for serving food, Rwenzori baskets have a smooth surface and feature bold, geometric designs.
- They are created using tightly woven millet grass stalks and naturally dyed raffia palm leaves.
- The vibrant colors come from natural dyes made from flowers, roots, leaves, and lichens grown by the weavers themselves.
- 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.
