This vintage African basket is traditionally given at weddings, and fittingly so as each has a unique design symbol representing life, love, health and happiness. 

Makenge baskets are woven from the roots of the makenge bush and traditionally used to toss maize in rural areas of Zambia. They are durable and were often passed down through generations. 

Due to its handmade nature, no two baskets are alike.

Patina ranges from dark browns and greys to light and more creamy due to usage. Inquire if you would like pictures of exact availability and size. Some baskets will look more old, and you are welcome to let us know your preference.
