ABOUT THIS PRODUCT
This handwoven platter brings together centuries-old Rwandan weaving techniques with modern functional design. The artisan carefully wraps hand-dyed sisal fibers around bunches of sweetgrass, creating a beautiful piece that works as both wall art and serving platter.
At 14 inches in diameter, the natural light blue, bronze and earth tones make it a stunning focal point in any room. The included hanging loop on the back allows for easy display, while its flat surface makes it perfect for serving or organizing small items.
Each piece carries subtle variations in size and color that celebrate the handmade process. This multifunctional design makes it an ideal housewarming gift for anyone who appreciates authentic craftsmanship with purpose.
