Makenge baskets are among Africa's most collected textile arts — woven from fibers hand-harvested and dyed with the root of the Makenge bush, then shaped over months into the deep, concentric patterns that give each piece its quiet geometry. Each basket carries its own story, pattern, and age. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEvery piece is one of a kind. Older examples are particularly prized for the depth of their colors, the intricacy of their raised grass patterns, and the history carried in their weave. Used traditionally for winnowing grain and household storage, today these baskets hang as wall art, rest as sculptural objects, or gather on a shelf — each one a small document of place, tradition, and craft. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAvailable in three sizes: Small (15.5\"–17\" D) · Medium (17.5\"–18.5\" D) · Large (18.5\"–22\" D) \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNatural Makenge bush root dye · Hand-harvested grass · Handwoven in Zambia · Wipe gently with a dry cloth to clean.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIf you're looking for a specific pattern or a particular piece, reach out to our team at contact@willage.life — we're happy to share what's in the collection.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WILLAGE","offers":[{"title":"Small: 15.5\" - 17\"D","offer_id":41069436108903,"sku":"WLG-DECOR-MAKENGE-BASKET-S-001","price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Medium: 17.5\" - 18.5\"D","offer_id":41069436141671,"sku":"WLG-DECOR-MAKENGE-BASKET-M-001","price":180.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Large:  18.5\" - 22\"D","offer_id":41069436174439,"sku":"WLG-DECOR-MAKENGE-BASKET-L-001","price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0562\/7373\/1687\/files\/WILLAGE_Makenge_Basket_Collection..jpg?v=1776885110","url":"https:\/\/willage.life\/products\/vintage-makenge-basket-zambia","provider":"WILLAGE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
