Basket Bariku Bowl - Tea with Black 12" Azizi Life - Rwanda
| Availability: | In stock (1) |
The Bariku Bowl is both functional and decorative, with a diamond-shaped hand woven pattern.
All of these woven bowls are created from dyed natural sisal fibres woven over a core of forest grasses. The weavers begin in the middle of the basket, carefully threading the sisal around and around to create this beautiful design. The tea colour is created when the naturally-white sisal fibres are steeped in Rwandan-grown tea leaves!
Slight variations add to the distinct beauty of products that are entirely made by hand.
The Bariku bowls are made by artisans from the Abizeranye Cooperative.
