Tonga Handwoven Basket
Description
Handcrafted by Batonga women in rural Zambia, our Tonga baskets represent generations of artistic heritage passed from mother to daughter. Each piece takes days to make and is meticulously handwoven from abundant natural fibers like palm leaves, wild twigs and creeping vines. Rich, earthy pigments are added with natural dyes made from bark and leaves. Each handwoven fiber tells a story of culture and empowerment through design. Use these baskets as decorative storage or as stunning wall accents.
