Nosere-Yure Art Basket

The daily lives of Gurunsi weavers, woven with singing and art at The Baba Tree Compound are at the heart of our designs.

In Fra Fra compounds is a perforated clay pot, filled with water so the chickens can dip their heads and drink. That small daily act gives this basket its name.

Nosere-yure borrows the shape of that vessel: a full, rounded body drawn up to a narrow neck, a silhouette that holds itself with quiet confidence.

Woven densely in elephant grass, it asks only for a clear surface, the corner the eye keeps returning to.

This is a decorative piece, not a working basket. Village life, reshaped into something a home keeps on show.

A Bolga basket with a story most pieces cannot claim. Another Baba Tree original.

The weaver of this basket will receive 12.5% of the retail price as a commission in addition to what they were already paid for weaving the basket.
