Masterweave Binga Bowl-37

Roomy at 16 to 18 inch across, this Binga bowl is as happy holding fruit on the table as it is hanging on the wall.

These baskets are woven by Tonga artisans along Lake Kariba in the Binga district of Zimbabwe. Strips of palm leaf are woven through radials of creeper vine, and some strips are dyed a deep brown with bark and roots to build the bold, geometric patterns Binga bowls are known for. Traditionally the shape was used to winnow grain. Every bowl is handmade and fairly traded, so your purchase supports the weaver directly.

Use it as a decorative fruit bowl or table centerpiece, or hang it flat as wall decor when you want the pattern on display.

You will receive the exact bowl pictured (item 106623), a one-of-a-kind 16 to 18 inch piece. Dimensions are approximate, accurate within about half an inch, so please check the size carefully before purchase.
