Vintage Makenge baskets from Zambia are rare works of functional art. These are working baskets used in daily life for storage, winnowing and holding water. These unique baskets are an incredible testament to the traditional weaving skills of the Mbundu and Losi women of the remote Western Provence of Zambia. Every basket is handmade, thus one of a kind. These baskets are traditionally handed down to new brides as a treasured wedding gift and each basket can take up to two weeks to create. Makenges hold much value and as they begin to require patching, they are done so with great artistry. Each Vintage Makenge is truly a time tested work of art.
