Lidded Bangle BasketPRINT THIS PAGE

SKU: 4803080

SKU# 4803080

Store your bangles in this round lidded raffia basket made by Ugandan basket weavers working with Uganda Crafts in Kampala, Uganda. Many of the artisans are women who became widows due to war or to their husbands dying of AIDS. The artisans live amidst some of the worst poverty in the world. Basket making is their most marketable skill. They have worked hard to incorporate new designs into their traditional craft, to appeal to the North American market.

The interior fiber forming the core of each coil is banana fiber, around which raffia palm is wrapped. With each wrapping, the fiber is threaded through the previous coil to form the basket.
  • Woven raffia, banana leaves
  • 4Dx5H inches
  • Made in Uganda
