African Zulu Mini Lidded Basket 5"

These traditional, lidded baskets are woven in South Africa out of ilala palm and wild grasses. They are naturally dyed using materials of diverse flower petals and mud. Some colors are very rare due to the scarcity of certain minerals. As part of Zulu wedding tradition, the bride's family gifts the baskets to the groom's family in exchange for a gift of cattle. These handmade baskets will delight any area of your home.
