Natural elephant grass is naturally dyed in cool blues and greens and warm yellow then woven into this unique storage basket by skilled artisan women in the Bolgatanga region of Ghana, who earn vital income for their handmade baskets. Due to handmade nature, size, shape, and color may vary. Dimensions: Approx. 16"h x 14 1/2"dia
Reshaping Your Bolgatanga Basket: Our artisan partners fold this basket in order to ship more efficiently. To remove creases and restore its shape, dampen basket with a spray bottle or other water source, or by submerging in water for 1 minute. Let it rest for 5 minutes to allow grass to absorb the moisture and become pliable. Bend and press the basket into shape--don't worry, it won't break. Allow it to air dry before use and enjoy your beautiful handwoven basket from Ghana!
