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 love the Bolga baskets because they are beautiful, quality, functional works of art. The saturated colors are amazing. This may sound crazy, but when I opened the box, the basket was breathtaking! It, and the fan, are incredibly bright and beautiful. It was like Christmas! Anyway, I am so happy with my purchase, and I will be buying from you again...especially when I need a gift for myself! Thank you so much! Terry
Thank you for my beautiful, beautiful basket! I really love it and will treasure it. I love the new pot shape and the colours and patterns. Ilona in the UK
