This beautiful basket is hand-made in Uganda by female artisans and features an eye-catching design inspired by African mudcloth. Mudcloth, or Bogolanfini, is a Malian tradition that involves using plant extracts and mud. Black and copper organic-shaped chevrons stand out on the natural raffia background, which is a material made from palm leaves native to tropical regions of Africa. We love how the coiled shape adds extra detail, and the simple loop at the top for easy hanging—since you’ll definitely want the basket on display.
Serrv International has collaborated with these artisans for nearly three decades to provide fair wages, steady income and a long-term business partnership.
We test everything we sell. Here’s how we’d use this.
Baskets like this are traditionally used by the Banyoro and Batooro people in western Uganda to serve food, as a part of certain ceremonies and also used to offer gifts to distinguished guests. We love using these for serving dry goods like bread and crackers.
