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.

The basket that I ordered for my daughter's Christmas present arrived yesterday. It is beautiful, the colors are so perfect, and they look just like the picture. The basket is sturdy, and the handles are very well made. Thank you so much! Marteil
I am very pleased with your service. I especially like the information pages on how the baskets are made. I find the packaging in a sturdy box, very well done, and the delivery prompt. The baskets themselves are just BEAUTIFUL - I've purchased several for gifts and for myself over the past 10 months. I find the value excellent and appreciate your wide selection. MANY THANKS!! Mary
