About This Piece
This stunning neutral and three-toned African basket is a handwoven work of cultural heritage. Made by Tonga women in the Binga district of Zimbabwe, Tonga Binga baskets are crafted using locally harvested ilala palm leaves and grasses. Each step of their creation—from harvesting to drying, dyeing, and intricately weaving—is a testament to skill, time, and tradition.
These functional baskets were originally made for winnowing grain. Today, they’re highly sought after as decorative wall hangings or functional centerpiece trays. This large basket is a collector’s piece—each line and form symbolizing cultural identity and craftsmanship.
Why You'll Love It
This basket is both artful and versatile—beautiful on its own or layered with others. Its large scale and geometric motif make a strong visual impact while remaining neutral and organic. Whether hung on a wall, used as a centerpiece, or propped on a shelf, it elevates your space with depth and handmade beauty.
