Set of Dark Green Pot Baskets from Ghana.
Pot baskets are exclusively woven in the Bolgatanga region in Northern Ghana. They are made from Elephant grass, a tropical grass that grows in the African grasslands. Elephant grass is dyed, dried, twined and woven into a basket. Grass straws are carefully selected by the weaver before weaving. It takes 3 days to weave a pot basket. Due to the handcrafted nature, each basket of the same style may vary by a few inches.
