About AFRICAN MARKET BASKET African Round Basket, 1 EA
These beautiful and functional baskets are hand-woven by the men, women, and children of the Fra Fra tribe in norhtern Ghana, near the town of Bolgatanga. Known as "market baskets" and woven from river grass colored with fabric dyes, they are used by almost all the women to carry their goods to market. Although the Fra Fra people are primarily subsistence farmers, over the years their traditional basket weaving has become a very important source of income for the villagers in this region. The Overseas Connection, Ltd. is committed to Fair Trade and we are proud to help the weavers by bringing these remarkable baskets to you. To change their shape, run water all over them and mold them to your liking. They will dry in the shape you leave them.
