Smaller Iquthu lidded baskets, or “herb baskets”, often have a looser weave, and are traditionally used to store medicinal remedies.
The age-old tradition of basket weaving is usually passed down from grandmother to granddaughter. This helps to preserve Zulu culture as the grandmothers have the opportunity to recite oral history and stories to the younger generations as they all weave together.
I continue to use my African basket all the time as my garden-produce basket. I LOVE IT!!! It's 100% amazing and awesome. Dave
I have ordered from you on a number of occasions and my current order has just arrived---expertly packaged and intact. Just wanted you to know how pleased I am, and I pass along kudos to your organization and the people that work for you. You guys are first class! Marisa
All of our African baskets are verified Fair Trade, because we believe that indigenous people around the world should be compensated fairly for their amazing work.
