Large Covered Batwa Raffia Basket - Uganda
$249.00
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.
13 1/2” tall x 11 3/4” top diameter (34 x 30 cm)
