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.

Just wanted to say that I received my basket, and it is even more beautiful than I had hoped. I actually got chills when I saw it! Thank you. Karen
The handle is strong, the walls are smooth so that if you do use it for yarn and knitting related tools, you don't have to worry about snags. I'll be buying more!! Donna
