Handwoven Patterned Tonga Wall Decor Basket Set Of 5
Bring warm, earthy texture to your shelves with these five handwoven Tonga baskets. Mbare, a maker from the Binga district, helps Tonga women craft these pieces. The women use centuries-old weaving techniques. You get a unique geometric design on every basket. Each features tight concentric circles and bold herringbone edges.
Arrange the large bowl on a console table to hold your keys. Stack the smaller pieces in a corner to add layered texture. Natural tree bark dyes give them rich brown and tan tones. They pair beautifully with boho or modern farmhouse interiors.
- Varied Dimensions: The set includes two small (12-15 inches), two medium (15-17 inches), and one large (17.5-22 inches) bowl.
- Natural Materials: Crafted locally from wild grasses, small vines, and palm leaves.
- Authentic Craftsmanship: A 16-inch basket takes about two weeks to weave using an over-and-under style.
The largest baskets in this set are still used for their original purpose of winnowing grains. You might prefer displaying dried florals inside your large piece instead. Purchasing this fairly traded set directly helps Tonga families raise their standard of living. You are keeping a vital piece of African heritage alive in your own home.
