The story
The Lozi (Barotse) live on and around the flood plain of the upper Zambezi. For Lozi, basket making is the main outlet of artistic expression. Makenge tree roots are collected from the makenge bush, boiled until soft and then baskets and plates are woven with them.
Lozi baskets and bowls are traditionally woven in two colors: black and natural fibers. Each area normally uses different patterns, such as zigzags, geometric shapes and animals.
Beautiful baskets with a modern twist.
