A gorgeous serving or decorative bowl with inbuilt handles, the Pemba Bowl is woven by traditional artisans in the Western Province of Zambia.
Handwoven with sustainably collected makenge root, artisans use traditional weaving methods to create this stunning decorative bowl that is approximately 35cm wide and 11cm deep.
Supporting Zambian weavers encourages artisans to use their skills to create income, and to pass their skills on to the next generation. This conserves the skills and leads artisans away from alternate industries such as charcoal burning, which is dramatically contributing to Zambia's deforestation.
This sturdy and stunning bowl is easy to care for, simply wipe clean with water, or use lemon juice to brighten!
All of our handmade, authentic items are unique, with their own charms and imperfections - just like us! Your purchase supports traditional makers and their families in Zambia so from them to you - thanks!
