The Traditional Peace Basket is rooted in the weaving traditions of Rwanda. Artisans weave locally gathered valley grasses and banana leaves over a papyrus frame, carefully building the basket into its distinctive lidded form.

The basket features the traditional umuraza pattern, a design that symbolizes a shared journey. Woven by hand, each basket carries not only the beauty of natural materials but also a piece of Rwandan tradition and the story of the artisan who created it.

Display the Peace Basket on a shelf, table, or entryway where its beautiful shape can be enjoyed. Its lidded design also makes it useful for tucking away small treasures, keepsakes, or everyday essentials. Let it stand on its own as a meaningful accent, or pair it with other woven pieces for a collected look.
