This Zulu telephone wire bowl basket combines traditional skills with modern materials. It is hand-woven from plastic coated electrical and telephone wires. Achieving the incredibly tight weave requires great hand and forearm strength, along with the skill needed to produce complex patterns. If you purchase this African basket you will receive the precise one seen in the image. It is approximately 4" deep by 7.5" in diameter with rigid walls and a black and rainbow swirl pattern. This beautiful basket is a fair trade product from South Africa. It will withstand daily use and can be cleaned in warm, soapy water.
