In traditional agrarian societies, wide, shallow baskets of this scale were essential, hardworking tools used for gathering crops, winnowing grains, or serving food. Crafted entirely by hand, each piece carries the unique creative signature of the artisan who wove it. This particular bowl stands out because the weaver incorporated beautifully faded pink, red, and green dyed fibers directly into the coils, creating a striking, repetitive geometric pattern that cascades down the sides. When you flip the basket over, you will also find a thick patch of original, sun-baked earthen mud sealing applied to the center of the base. This brilliant historical technique was used to protect the bottom of the basket from damp ground and prevent fine grains from falling through the woven cracks.

At 21 inches across and 9 inches deep, this bowl is the perfect size for adding an organic pop of faded color to your decor. It looks phenomenal resting on a large kitchen island or a light wood Japandi coffee table as a textural centerpiece. Because of its patterned interior, it also makes for incredibly dramatic, three-dimensional wall art when mounted in a living room, hallway, or bedroom.
