ABOUT THIS PRODUCT
This handwoven plateau basket showcases the artisan mastery of Rwandan craftspeople who transform locally sourced sisal and sweetgrass into a one-of-a-kind geometric design. Each 12-inch plateau tells a story through natural materials and traditional techniques passed down through generations.
The maker hand-dyes each piece in vibrant colors before weaving strands of sisal around bunches of sweetgrass, creating both durability and beauty. A thoughtfully placed loop on the back allows for wall display, while the shallow design makes it perfect as a fruit basket or decorative accent piece.
More than functional art, this plateau represents meaningful employment for women artisans and investment in educational programs that strengthen communities. Every purchase supports sustainable livelihoods and preserves traditional craft heritage.
