    • Made with natural elephant grass and leather
    • 15"L x 15"W x 15"H
    • Handcrafted in Ghana

    Bolga baskets are perhaps the most iconic of handmade African baskets, so it's no surprise that they are loved and well-used in homes everywhere. Talented weavers in Bolgatanga, Ghana, apply their skill to turn stiff stalks of elephant grass into these beautiful works of functional art. Because this is a handcrafted item, each will vary slightly.

    Note: Bolga baskets are typically crafted with soft goatskin binding the handles. Without leather binding, handles are not as strong.

    *Baskets are shipped FLATTENED into a box. You can shape your basket by wetting the straw and shaping the basket with your hands, then allowing it to dry

    **By law, containers shipped from Africa are fumigated. Other than the fumigation process, the fibers are not treated with any other chemicals
