Weaving Baskets in Rwanda
In Rwanda, “the land of a thousand hills”, weavers from many tribes, including the recently warring Hutus and Tutsis, create sisal bowl baskets as symbols of peace, reconciliation, self- reliance and hope.
The inside of the coils consists of native grasses. Sisal fiber is then finely stitched on the outside of the coil.

This is the 4th or 5th basket I have ordered from you and each one is wonderful. I received the basket in less than a week, I was so pleasantly surprised when it arrived in such a short time. Thank you! And let me say, that I use the oval Ghana basket as a 'book bag.' I teach so I have used my old basket for almost 4 years carrying papers to correct, grade book, etc. It is so sturdy and practical for what I wanted. I use carabiner clips to hold my keys and reading glasses, it's great! Thank you again for the product and the great service. Sandy
This is sooooo adorable!! I love this basket a lot!! I will be ordering more. THANK YOU!! Leesa
