This handwoven raffia basket is reminiscent of the turaco, a beautiful bird native to Africa. A golden starburst is highlighted by bold teal and subtle earth, and rests on a natural raffia background. Made by rural women artisans in Uganda who earn a living through traditional handcrafts. Perfect for display or striking storage. Hanging loop attached. Due to handmade nature, colors may vary widely. Dimensions: 2 1/2"h x 12"dia.
Since 1996, SERRV International has partnered with artisans in Uganda, providing a long-term trading partnership and interest-free advance payment for our orders. Through sales of their products, nearly 80 basket weavers earn a steady income, enabling them to make decisions and be less dependent on men for access to food, shelter, health, and education for their children. In addition, artisans in Uganda are involved in microfinancing, information and research, and lobbying for women's rights.
