This is a bright and colorful Blue and Purple woven basket from the Lesotho People of South Africa.The types of traditional craft still most commonly seen in Lesotho are those made of grass. With an abundance of diverse grasses in the mountain highlands, artisans are rarely without raw materials.

Most baskets made now are created for a limited number of upper class Basotho and tourists. This was collected in the field and shows age. This bright and useful basket would be wonderful in your home or to give as a gift.
