ABOUT THIS PRODUCT
This mini handwoven plateau transforms any space into a gallery of authentic African craftsmanship. Created by women artisans in Rwanda using traditional techniques passed down through generations, each piece features natural sisal fibers wrapped around sweetgrass bundles, hand-dyed in soft olive green and light blue tones.
The compact 8-inch design makes it perfect for small spaces, whether mounted on gallery walls, styled on bookshelves, or gifted as a meaningful housewarming present. The included hanging loop allows for effortless wall display, while its shallow bowl form can hold small treasures or stand alone as sculptural art.
Every purchase supports education programs for women artisans and youth in their communities, creating lasting impact beyond beautiful home decor. Due to the handmade nature, slight variations in size and color make each piece uniquely yours.
