Large Garlic Basket

These Vintage Garlic Tonga Sculptural Baskets are made entirely of Ilala palm leaves in rural Zimbabwe by women of the Ndebele tribe. The weaving style is a traditional technique that has been passed along from one generation to the next. Women gather to weave and connect with each other under the shade of large trees with their children playing nearby. Each weaver infuses her own touch in these baskets, so each one is unique in pattern and shape — no two are identical, which makes each basket truly one of a kind.
