Description
Across southern Africa, the Batonga women of Zambia are well know for their basketry skills and unique designs. They use abundant natural fibers like palm leaves, wild twigs and creeping vines to craft functional pieces of woven art. Rich, earthy pigments are added with natural dyes made from bark and leaves. Each basket takes days to make and honors generations of artistic heritage passed from mother to daughter. Use this versatile piece for decorative storage or as part of your wall basket display. Measures 13 inches wide x 5.5 inches tall. This is piece is 100% hand-crafted and some variations may occur. The plant-based dyes used in this item may have a mild odor that will fade within a few days.
Our Stylist Says
I love this large Tonga basket for its versatile sculptural presence and natural texture, which can add warmth and visual interest to a variety of interiors. It works particularly well in boho, coastal, or Scandinavian settings where organic elements are key. As a statement piece, it’s ideal for use as a stand-alone sculpture or paired with other natural materials. Practical styling tips include placing it on the floor as a focal point in an entryway or corner, or using it as a stylish plant holder to bring a touch of nature indoors. Its neutral tones make it adaptable across colour schemes, making it a practical yet stylish addition to both contemporary and rustic spaces.
