Rwandan Mini Basket Ornaments Assorted

These little baskets make wonderful Christmas ornaments, teachers’ gifts, and wedding favors.  Hand woven in the traditional style, the baskets can be opened to hide a small gift.

The woven basket with a pointed lid is a Rwandan cultural symbol.  The traditional stripe pattern represents a path taken by friends, carrying gifts to another dear friend.  These miniature baskets are a beautiful way to bring a piece of Rwandan tradition to your Christmas celebration.

Woven from natural sisal fibers, these baskets are lightweight.  An artisan weaves for at least one full day to create one 3-4 inch basket.

Though securely attached, the lids of these miniature baskets can be removed- it’s the perfect hiding place for a small gift!

Buy one, or create your own set.  Or adorn your whole tree in baskets!

Hand woven from natural sisal fibers.

Miniature baskets can be opened and are great for holding a small gift or treat.

Care: Dust with a dry cloth.

Ethically crafted by a person in rural Rwanda.

Every piece is unique in assorted colors. Slight variations in size, shape, and color may occur due to the natural sisal fibers and handwoven process. Contact us for our current selection or let us know choose for you.
