Banana stalk and raffia are native to the village of Nsamya. Namirembe Milly helps to collect these natural resources and weaves them into colorful baskets such as this. At 34 years old, she is one of the most experienced weavers at Uganda Crafts and helps train the other makers in the group. “Through weaving, I have been able to support myself and my family.” Handmade in Uganda.
Perfect as wall decor or on the tabletop or counter for fruit, etc.
