Bolga market basket is hand woven in the Bolgatanga region of Ghana from natural split elephant grass, with a thick wrapped leather grip on the central handle in dark brown to black. The base is natural straw woven with vertical stripes of dyed warm orange and brown tones. The basket is in good pre-owned condition, sturdy and flexible with no broken reeds, showing only light wear on the leather handle consistent with normal use. It measures 16 inches long, 14 inches wide, and 8 inches high, a large size built for real carrying capacity. The weave is dense and durable, made to hold up under repeated use rather than sit as a fragile decoration. It suits farmers market trips and everyday shopping, works as a storage basket for blankets or toys, and doubles as a boho style home decor accent. If it arrives slightly flattened or misshapen from shipping, it can be reshaped by submerging it briefly in water, pressing it back into form by hand, and letting it air dry. Please feel free to ask for any additional information or questions you may have. Thank You Condition: Used.
