Why stop at curved baskets? Sturdy kaisa grass weaves beautifully into rectangular and square shapes like this 9 x 13-inch basket. You’ll find a variety of uses for this practical basket in kitchen, pantry and dining room.

Kaisa is a sturdy wild grass that dries from its natural light green to a pale, almost tan color. Artisans cut kaisa grass from riverbanks during the monsoon season, leaving the roots for the next year’s crop. Later growth of kaisa is thicker and stronger, and is used to make fences in the villages. The cut kaisa grass is sundried and cleaned, then woven into baskets.
