Pedestal Basket
The pedestal basket is crafted from palm river reed and wire which creates bumps and bends that the weavers do not straighten, giving the finished piece its organic shape. The black is attained by soaking the palm fiber with rusty tins for 2 weeks and then being boiled with the leaves of the weeping boer-bean tree. The technique and weaving stitch is traditional Zulu, the design is contemporary and fits perfectly in a modern interior.
Due to its handmade nature, no two pot baskets are alike.
