These adorable pink-and-white baskets, miniature versions of Indego Africa’s one-of-a-kind Peace Baskets, have a poignant history and endure as a powerful symbol of peace. Following the Rwandan genocide, women who were left behind on both sides of the violence came together to rebuild their communities by forming artisan cooperatives to create traditional baskets for commerce. Weaving and working side by side they were able to foster peace, hope and reconciliation. Rwandan Peace Baskets continue to represent generosity, compassion and forgiveness. Handmade of sustainable, locally-grown sweet grass and sisal using traditional techniques. Spot clean. Colors may vary and will fade in direct sunlight. Set of 3 baskets, each measures 3 1/2″ x 2″
Inspired Design: Indego Africa creates unique, handcrafted products inspired by the vibrant colors and rich cultural traditions of Rwanda, while providing education and economic empowerment for its partner artisan cooperatives.
