Lozi Fishtrap Basket

Introducing the exquisite Lozi Fishtrap Basket, crafted by the renowned maker, Mbare. These unique baskets are woven from reeds that thrive in the floodplains of Zambia's Western Province. Each year, the rains rejuvenate the wetlands, supporting a rich ecosystem that sustains the Lozi people with bream, barbel, rice, maize, and exotic fruits.

Originally designed to trap fish, these baskets now serve as a stunning decorative piece. The clean, modern lines of the basket are beautifully complemented by a simple metal stand, which is included. With a diameter of 14 inches and a height of 15 inches, this basket is both lightweight and versatile, weighing just 1.5 lbs. Proudly made in Tanzania, the Lozi Fishtrap Basket is a testament to traditional craftsmanship and natural beauty.
