These hand-woven coil baskets come from rural villages in the beautiful
country of Pakistan. These artists have woven baskets by hand for generations.
A single basket can take weeks to weave, depending on the size, fineness, and
design.
They are elegant, tightly woven and made the traditional way: by wrapping dyed
palm leaves over a coiled bundle of river grass, then hand-stitching each wrap
to the previous coil. The more wraps and stitches, the finer the basket. Minor
imperfections are proof of the weaver’s hand, and the colors will soften with
age.
You can hang these baskets on the wall for decorative purposes or store items
in them. These designs will fit into any decor and are a wonderful addition to
your home and at the same time help provide income to wonderful artists.
