Intricately woven large round grain basket (Labba). This bowl is constructed of wickerwork that transitions from a square foot in the center of the base to a round rim. Additional warp pieces were tapered and inserted by the weaver to achieve the symmetrical round shape. This large grain basket would oftentimes be carried on the head.
A sturdy basket that could be used as a storage vessel or mounted on the wall to enjoy the different weaving techniques on the interior side. Its size and dark patina would lend visual and sculptural interest to a variety of residential or commercial spaces from Coastal or Beach to Rustic, Japandi, Organic Modern, or Wabi Sabi.
