Basket - Makenge Old - Zambia
An old Makenge basket from Zambia, handwoven from natural grass fibre in a rich palette of dark and light warm tones. Its circular form is animated by flowing spiral detail and a raised band of lighter weaving that creates a strong graphic contrast. The subtle irregularities of the weave give the piece a wonderful sense of age and handcraft, making it an elegant addition to a wall arrangement, console display or collection of woven African art.
