Description :

African Basket with Arched Handle: A Handwoven Vessel of Utility and Elegance

This African basket is a finely crafted example of traditional handweaving, combining natural materials with a balanced, functional design.

Materials and Construction

  • Fiber Type: Woven from natural plant fibers, likely grass, palm, or sisal, which are commonly used in African basketry for their strength and flexibility.

  • Weave: The basket features a tight, uniform weave, demonstrating skilled craftsmanship and attention to structural integrity.

  • Color Pattern: Alternating light and dark brown tones form a rhythmic, geometric pattern, enhancing both visual appeal and cultural expression.

    Cultural Context

    • Regional Style: While the exact origin is not specified, the form and weave suggest styles found in West or East African basketry traditions, such as those from Ghana, Kenya, or Uganda.

    • Symbolism: The color contrasts and patterns may reflect local aesthetics or symbolic meanings, often tied to nature, community, or daily life.
