BaTonga, these large flat baskets are made by the Zimbabwe's Tonga tribe and are used for winnowing grain. Natural grass contrasts with dark brown shades, creating intricate geometric patterns. They make for excellent wall displays.

Basket making is widely practiced in Sub-Saharan Africa, using all kinds of locally available ingredients including vines, grasses, reeds, sorghum, papyrus and palm fonds. By combining different colors and weaving techniques, the basket maker can create a variety of intricate patterns.

This BaTonga grass basket has been framed and is ready to be hung.

All sizes listed are approximate. The African hand woven grass BaTonga basket you purchase and receive may differ just slightly in size, look, and/or color from the African hand woven grass basket shown in the picture because each African hand woven grass basket and hand is painted by individual artists
