      Tall, Wavy & Sculptural Woven Baskets

      These aren’t your average floor baskets.

      From Ghana’s bold wavy silhouettes to Rwanda’s impossibly tall, thread-wrapped forms—these pieces flip tradition on its head. Woven by African artists using elephant grass, sisal, and centuries of skill, each basket in this collection stretches the limits of texture, height, and handmade precision. Sculptural. Raw. Unmissable.

      Ask Away... We LOVE Talking Woven Art

      Ghanaian and Rwandan baskets are handwoven works of art, made with natural grasses and fibers using techniques passed through generations. Ghanaian baskets, often large and sculptural, are woven from elephant grass. Rwandan baskets, known as Agaseke, are tightly coiled with sisal and sweetgrass. Both styles are admired as one-of-a-kind statement pieces for modern interiors.

      Each basket reflects cultural heritage, artisanal skill, and bold design. Collectors and interior designers value them as sculptural décor and centerpiece objects that combine functionality with art. Their handmade nature ensures that no two are alike, making every piece a collectible work.

      Ghanaian baskets are woven from elephant grass, durable and textured, sometimes dyed in vivid colors. Rwandan baskets are woven with sisal fiber wrapped around sweetgrass, creating detailed geometric spirals and diamond motifs. All materials are natural and responsibly harvested.

      Depending on size and complexity, weaving can take several days to weeks. The process requires patience and precision, especially for Rwandan baskets with tightly coiled stitching and Ghanaian baskets with large sculptural forms.

      Yes. Both Ghanaian and Rwandan basket weaving rely on renewable grasses and fibers. Each purchase supports artisan communities directly, providing sustainable livelihoods and preserving traditional weaving knowledge.

      Rwandan basket patterns often symbolize unity, community, and resilience, expressed through spirals and geometric motifs. Ghanaian baskets emphasize form and strength, with bold weaves and shapes that celebrate daily life and cultural traditions.

      Authentic baskets from Ghana and Rwanda are available through RFB Woven Art, sourced directly from artisan communities and curated as collectible woven art for discerning collectors and interior designers.
