Handmade Senegal Lidded Basket in Wide Stripes

African Lidded Baskets

Used in a variety of ways, including laundry hampers, these baskets bring amazing artisan craftsmanship into our living spaces. They are handwoven by an association of more than 100 rural Wolof women in the West African nation of Senegal.

Each basket is woven in the coil style by binding dried cattail stalks with plastic strips salvaged from a Dakar mat factory. The combination of natural and synthetic materials beautifully displays modern African artistry.
