Bolga baskets are handcrafted in farming communities in the Bolgatanga area of Ghana in West Africa. They are are among the best known African baskets because of their versatility and durability. They are woven from elephant grass, the leather handles are made from goat skin, and their production has a minimal impact on the environment.
