Overview: Pool Blue Rain Basket. Intricately woven. Craftswomen in Rwanda use timeless tradition to weave carefully dyed sisal fibers and sweet grass to make stunning one of a kind pieces rich in cultural meaning and purpose. They are just the right size for a center piece, fruit bowl, or wall hanging. Product Meaning & Purpose: Baskets carry their own symbolism in Rwanda. Because friends give them to celebrate major life events such as weddings, births and graduations, baskets are proudly displayed as symbols of wealth of friends, family and life. Rain Design: The circular pattern on this basket symbolizes the cycle of rebirth, in which rain plays a vital role. East Africa has two rainy seasons, each lasting two to three months. Because the majority of East Africa's people rely on agriculture to survive, they trust that rain will come to cultivate the seeds they sow, and reward their hard work by bringing life and nourishment to people, animals and plants. Thus the rain pattern represents the cleansing of one life stage and hope in the promise of growth. Every All Across Africa basket comes with a tag featuring an artisan's story highlighting how this purchase is impacting their life.
