Introduce a touch of Botswana's cultural heritage into your home with the Bayei & Hanbukushu Handwoven Coil Flat Botswana Basket. This exquisite basket is meticulously handwoven by skilled artisans from the Bayei and Hanbukushu tribes in Botswana, showcasing their centuries-old weaving techniques and artistic traditions.

Product Description:

The Bayei & Hanbukushu Handwoven Coil Flat Botswana Basket is a testament to the skill and creativity of the artisans who craft it. Made from locally sourced natural fibers such as palm leaves or grass, each basket is uniquely woven using a coil flat technique, resulting in intricate patterns and designs that represent the cultural identity of the Bayei and Hanbukushu people.

This handwoven basket measures [provide dimensions] and features a flat shape that makes it perfect for displaying on walls or tables. Whether used as a functional storage solution or as a striking piece of art, this Botswana basket adds a touch of authenticity and beauty to any space.

The exceptional Botswana baskets, which exemplify the utmost craftsmanship in weaving, originate from the indigenous communities inhabiting the expansive Okavango Delta, the largest inland delta on Earth. Fed by the majestic Okavango River and stretching into the arid Kalahari Desert, this unique ecosystem supports an unparalleled array of wildlife, making it one of Africa's richest and most varied habitats.
Women belonging to the Bayei and Hambukushu tribal groups invest great care and effort in crafting these exquisite artworks using natural materials like 'mokola' palm tree fibers intricately coiled around grass or vine. To achieve vibrant colors, they utilize a combination of bark and roots sourced from two distinct tree species, along with natural dyes derived from decomposed sorghum husks and shrub leaves.

Among various types of basket weaving, coil weaving stands out as the most challenging. It involves skillfully wrapping and stitching fibers around a grass coil. Achieving precise thickness and uniformity in the coils requires years of dedicated practice.

As the size of a bowl increases, the process of expanding its diameter becomes exponentially more time-consuming. The coils in each row lengthen significantly as the bowl widens and flares outward. Adding an inch to the diameter at the top of a basket can take as much time, if not more, than the initial several inches at the base.

Creating a larger Masterweave basket often demands months or even years of intricate weaving.

The pricing of these baskets depends on both the weaving quality and the size. Two baskets of the same dimensions but featuring different weaving qualities will have distinct price points based on the craftsmanship displayed.

Traditionally, these beautiful open bowls have been used by women for winnowing grain or balancing items on their heads. Lidded baskets, on the other hand, serve the purpose of grain storage or containing sorghum beer. Incorporating these baskets into your décor adds an organic and naturally stunning touch of beauty.

Glitter Bomb
Color: Glint Rainbow
It gets ALL over the place and doesn’t stick all that well. Neat idea but it doesn’t work the way I would hope.

Cute bottle, great product
Color: Sparkling Pink
My daughter has been in to all things glitter. Most recently her makeup and skin care. Shes been looking for hair glitter. While helping her search I came across this spray and thought the bottle was too cute to pass up. The quality is great, she sprays it in her hair and it lasts all day. She can also use it on her skin for added sparkle. Surprisingly for a loose glitter it sticks really well. Some specks may transfer but not much.

Really lovely
Color: Glint-Rainbow
Got this for my toddler as a celebration gift for getting rid of her binky. Only big girls get to be sparkly. I also use clear coat on our nails and spray with however much glitter we feel like at the time and it's very cute. It is not adhesive, it's just loose glitter. If you want it to start on your hair I'd suggest light hairspray first immediately followed with the glitter. It's a very fun little bottle.
