Black & Natural Variegated Iringa Basket - Medium

These simple yet durable baskets are hand woven by women in rural Tanzania from natural and dyed milulu grass. The grass reeds can be harvested carefully from the marsh without removing the entire plant, dried in the sun, dyed with natural dyes, and split for weaving. The closeness to the earth of both maker and product gives these beautifully crafted baskets widespread appeal.

Sold singly. Because these baskets are woven by hand, each will vary slightly.

NOTE: We ship Iringa baskets in two ways. We can fit more FLATTENED Iringa baskets into a box, saving you on shipping costs. Or, we can SHAPE your baskets before they ship. If you do not indicate during checkout that you wish for us to SHAPE your baskets, they will arrive flattened. You can shape your basket by wetting the straw and shaping the basket with your hands, then allowing it to dry.
