Description
- You will receive a basket nearly identical to the one pictured above.
- Traditionally used for winnowing grain, these bowls make for amazing wall décor, especially in collections featuring various sizes and patterns.
- Through use of a combination of both vegetable and soil-based dyes, many of these baskets feature mid-tones not often found in other Tonga baskets.
- Each of these baskets is made by weaving strips of palm leaves into a flat mat, then cutting a circle out of the mat and attaching a rim.
- 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.
