Small Sprocket Basket ~ Cultivate Collection
A smaller version of the medium sized wall baskets but just as impactful. Add variation to your dramatic wall display or use as the perfect catch-all on your dresser.
Handcrafted by women artisans from the Batoro tribe living in the very rural mountains of Western Uganda. These weavers are a part of a cooperative that provides training to single mothers, widows and other marginalized women who are subsistence farmers and weave baskets to provide additional income.
- Made from all natural, sustainably sourced raffia and banana fibers.
- Unique, bold mix of natural and AZO free dyes - Natural dyes are made from various plant materials grown in artisan’s villages. The women grow, harvest and make all the natural dyes which take a great deal of knowledge and skill to produce.
- The hand-dyed raffia is twisted and wrapped around coils of banana fibers, creating structure and intricate designs.
- Hanging loop on back allows basket to be wall decor in addition to tabletop use
- Weavers hand make each basket from home while tending to other household duties. Baskets can take days to weeks to complete with artists weaving 3 or so hours per day while balancing other responsibilities.
-
No two baskets are identical - there will be slight variations in size and color from the one shown due to the handmade nature of each product. Each basket is both special and unique.
