The baTonga people were forced to relocate to the Binga district after their lands were permanently buried in water during the construction of Lake Kariba in the early 1960s. The baskets are woven on radials of vines, and the palm leaves are sometimes dyed with bark and roots to create the intricate designs.

Not only are these baskets functional for winnowing, but they also make for stunning wall decorations. Hang one in your living room, dining room, or bedroom to add a touch of culture and beauty to your home. Handmade in the Binga district of Zimbabwe, each basket is a true work of art.
