Vintage Burkina Faso Wedding Basket - 17.5" Diam. X 9.5" H

The red and black geometric design is woven, and leather is used around the rim of the basket and to cover its base. It has held its shape and has a hard base made of fiber and leather. The baskets are traditionally used to hold gifts which are presented to a bride and groom during wedding ceremonies.
