Weaving Makenge Bush Root Baskets in Zambia
In the Western province of Zambia, not far from the border with Angola, the mostly Mbunda speaking people weave these ruggedly unique baskets.
These baskets are of a similar style to those woven in nearby Zimbabwe, but with a more rustic touch.

I got them today!! They are all totally gorgeous and I love them. I've got three up on a shelf in my utility room with socks and hats and gloves and stuff in and the two big ones will go on another shelf somewhere else, but they're so nice I'm thinking of all the things I want to do with them and where they could go. They're beautiful, thank you so much! Helen in the UK
I just opened the box of Binga baskets I recently ordered. I had to write and say that I am blown away by how gorgeous they are. As your tag notes, I also have never seen ones so beautifully woven. It was a treat to open the box! Josephine
