Add authentic African craftsmanship and bold woven texture to your home with our Fair Trade Tonga Flat Basket Bowls, handwoven in the Munyumbwe region of Zambia. These unique flat bowls are crafted using the traditional Tonga weaving technique, known for its strength, time-intensive construction, and striking geometric patterns.
Tonga baskets are woven on radials of creeping vines, with palm leaves sometimes dyed using natural bark and roots to create contrast and design. Each basket features the signature double-thick, sturdy weave that Tonga craftsmanship is known for, resulting in a durable, shallow bowl with a distinctive handmade feel.
Perfect for use as a decorative tabletop tray, fruit bowl, coffee table centerpiece, bread basket, or wall décor accent, these flat basket bowls are versatile, functional, and beautifully artisanal. Each piece is handmade and sold assorted, meaning patterns and color tones will vary slightly—making every basket one of a kind.
Available in two sizes, these flat Tonga bowls bring earthy texture and global design into any space while supporting fair trade artisan communities in Zambia.
