One-of-a-Kind Heirloom Baskets Rooted in Generations of Tradition Celebrate the enduring artistry of African heritage with our Old Makenge Bowls, handwoven by master artisans using time-honored techniques passed down through generations. Each basket is a singular expression of beauty, marriage, and family, rich with cultural symbolism and functional history. These baskets are not replicas; they are authentic, vintage pieces that once served in daily life, particularly for winnowing grain. The light residue nestled within the fibers is a natural patina earned over years of practical use, lending each piece depth, soul, and story. Before shipping, every bowl is gently washed and brushed, though some particles remain to preserve their character and authenticity. The curled rootwork at the edges, found on select baskets, is an intentional design element, left untouched to showcase the raw elegance of the material and the artisan’s connection to nature. Extra Small - 10"-12" Dia. Small - 14"-15" Dai. Medium - 18"-18.5" Dia. Large - 19"-21" Dia.
