The African Home Goods | Binga Zimbabwe Basket

Artist: The African Home Goods

Traditionally, the baskets were (and still are) used for carrying maize or sorghum from the fields and then winnowing the grain. A traditional design includes striped a spider web type pattern, and a lightning pattern with a distinctive square bottom design to form the foundation of the basket. 

Binga baskets are light, and popular to hang as a wall decor. The colors are neutral with beautiful geometric designs. They are created from naturally dyed palm leaves.

• Made of Ilala palm, palm leaves, dyed with bark and roots to make up the designs

• Hang this functional art on a wall in singles or multiples for a pop of textural pattern
