Elephant Grass Baskets from Ghana, Africa
Ghana, in sub-Saharan Africa, is the source of these sturdy elephant grass baskets.
This style, known as the "bolga" basket, is a favorite because of its large size and versatility.
Several other styles are also available, often the same bright colors one sees throughout Ghana. |
