AFRICAN MARKET BASKET African Round Basket, 1 EA

Description

These beautiful and functional baskets are hand-woven by the men, women, and
children of the Fra Fra tribe in norhtern Ghana, near the town of Bolgatanga.
Known as “market baskets” and woven from river grass colored with fabric dyes,
they are used by almost all the women to carry their goods to market. Although
the Fra Fra people are primarily subsistence farmers, over the years their
traditional basket weaving has become a very important source of income for
the villagers in this region. The Overseas Connection, Ltd. is committed to
Fair Trade and we are proud to help the weavers by bringing these remarkable
baskets to you. To change their shape, run water all over them and mold them
to your liking. They will dry in the shape you leave them.
