Makenge Basket - 100C Standing Possibly the most recognizable formA handwoven Makenge basket, a testament to the weaving skills of the Mbundu and Lozi people of Zambia. An original piece, traditionally used to sift the grains used in cooking you may still find a few grains embedded in the weave, a lovely mark of its authenticity. Beautiful as a wall piece or standing on a shelf or table. How they are made: the baskets are woven from the roots of the Makenge tree, a small tree that sends out very long, shallow roots.
