Covered Batwa Raffia Basket - Uganda

$159.00

These Batwa baskets are unlike any other African basket. To the coiled grass bound by dyed raffia a supplementary raffia woven design is added to form this extraordinary basket. The Batwa - the Twa people, a “pygmy” people - live in the border area of southwestern Uganda, northwestern Rwanda and eastern Congo, in the area of the Ruwenzori Mountains, in the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. They live among a native gorilla population just like we live among whitetail deer.

9 1/2” tall x 8 1/2” top diameter (24 x 22 cm)
