Antique Zambian Basket

An artifact of Zambian craftsmanship, this handwoven basket embodies six decades of history and artistry. Made from natural grasses and reeds, it showcases a tight, intricate weave that speaks to the skill and patience of its maker. Once used for winnowing grain, the basket now rests on a custom iron stand, transforming it into a sculptural object that celebrates form, texture, and heritage. Its rich patina and organic variations tell the story of generations of use — a tactile connection to the everyday rituals of rural life in Zambia. Whether displayed as a wall piece or elevated on its stand, it commands quiet reverence and adds depth to any curated interior. Circa 1960s. Includes custom iron display stand.
