These incredibly durable baskets are hand woven by Samburu and Rendille women in remote northern Kenya. Called "nomadic baskets", these rustic vessels are styled for the modern home but based on traditional designs used for the storage of camel's milk. Nomadic baskets are adorned with plain white beads. Because these baskets are handcrafted, sizes and shapes may vary.

Crafted from: Doum palm leaves, beads

Dimensions: Small: 4.5"D x 4"H (size may vary)

About Swahili Modern: 

At Swahili Modern, we believe that adaptation helps traditional African craft forms thrive. Artisans can earn a living from the comfort of home by doing creative work, so they have options beyond seeking work in cities. Through export, skills inherited through generations—sometimes with deep-rooted cultural significance—continue to bring meaning, stability, and a sense of pride to entire communities.
