Set of Five Woven Wicker Trays. Barotse?, Zambia

Set of Five Small Woven Wicker Trays. Possibly Barotse Culture, Zambia

‍

Following the basketry technique used by the Barotse in Zambia. Each small, hand-woven tray features an individual design, crafted from arrangements of darker fibres into various geometric patterns. One tray displays a single series of pyramid shapes, while another features a pattern of alternating triangular and lineal designs. When mounted together, the set of five trays provides a striking interplay of simple geometric designs, and of dark and light.
