Description
- You will receive a basket nearly identical to the one pictured above.
- The thin wire weaving makes the baskets very time consuming to produce. The high-quality solid copper and glass beads combine to make a relatively high materials cost.
- Because the baskets are woven over forms – in some cases traditional Zulu pottery – there are unique variations in each basket.
- The pure copper is quite soft, so treat your basket with care. If a basket is dropped or bent, form back to shape with your hands.
- Wash gently with warm soapy water.
- 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.
About the Basket Weavers
Weaving Zulu Copper Beaded Baskets in South Africa
Due to the remoteness, scarce population, and challenging rocky terrain in this area, fully one-third of the economy of the Msinga district comes from grassroots home based businesses such as farming and basket weaving.
