These little baskets make wonderful Christmas ornaments, teachers’ gifts, or 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 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!
