Our Deluxe Small Round Natural African Basket from Africa Heartwood Project is simple and elegant, showcasing the natural light brown color of dried elephant grass with no added dyes or patterns. Hand-woven by artisans in Bolgatanga, each woven basket is a masterpiece of design and durability, made from locally sourced elephant grass. Featuring robust leather handles and a compact build, these baskets are ideal for various applications, such as collecting eggs or herbs, displaying soaps or dishcloths, storing small crafts, or showcasing a small pot of flowers.

Each deluxe basket in our collection is made from elephant grass that grows in the rich flood plains of the White Volta near Bolgatanga, Northern Ghana. Women artisans, working in family and village cooperatives, hand-weave each basket using traditional techniques passed down through generations.

Africa Heartwood Project, a non-profit organization, supports cultural artisans by providing training, investment, and access to global markets, helping to preserve traditional crafts and culture. Your purchase not only supports livelihoods for these women and their families but also the charitable projects among the poor in West Africa, including village water projects and orphan support.
