Description

18" Bolga Ghana Round Market Basket, Leather Handle 

Handwoven Bolga market basket from the Bolgatanga region of Ghana, crafted from durable elephant grass with a smooth, leather-wrapped handle. The basket features traditional Ghanaian craftsmanship with alternating indigo and straw checkerboard bands and a central rose-toned wave pattern—an iconic Bolga weaving style. Made by Frafra artisans of Northern Ghana, this piece reflects both artistry and functionality, perfect for shopping, storage, or as a striking decorative accent.

Condition:
Good overall. Basket sits slightly askew but remains structurally sound. The weave is tight, and the leather handle is secure, with light wear consistent with handmade construction.

Dimensions:
Approximately 16" height x 18" diameter.
Please note: Campbell’s soup can shown for scale.
