About the Item
Generously scaled and quietly commanding, this late 20th-century Hausa basket was hand-coiled and woven from palm fronds using time-honored techniques passed down through generations. Its form is soft but substantial, with a presence that anchors a room without overpowering it. Faint traces of original dyed patterns still cling to the surface—subtle remnants of geometry and color that hint at the basket’s origin while allowing the natural texture of the material to take center stage. Made by Hausa artisans in West Africa, the piece speaks to both function and finesse: traditionally used for carrying or storing grain, it now feels perfectly at home as a sculptural object, catching firewood, textiles, or simply the eye. Its scale is part of the charm—unexpected, generous, and grounding. The kind of object that doesn't shout, but insists quietly on its place in the room. A study in proportion, patina, and restraint.
