African Bolga Baskets Mini Shopper Basket Ghana 9-12" Across - Colors & Patterns Vary

Description

Our Bolga Baskets are hand-woven in the historic town of Bolgatanga, Ghana in West Africa. Bolga Baskets are all natural baskets made from thick, tough elephant grass. The elephant grass grows wild and is harvested, dried into straw, and then woven by the women of the village. The men primarily tan goat hides and work the leather on the handles. The weavers/leather crafters of the Bolga Baskets are mostly farm families and have been weaving and selling these handcrafted works of art for generations! The purchase of these baskets is helping a farmer in Africa!
