This large, eye-catching handmade piece my mother aquired in Africa. Its exceptional size (over 4 feet wide when spread), intricate open-weave construction, colorful geometric patterning in earthy browns with pink/red accents, and shoulder strap make it stand out from typical smaller African tribal baskets or fish traps. It was made in the 1990s, made from woven natural fibers. The weaving is in good condition. This would be a wonderful wall display piece. It’s one of a kind, and rare for its size.
