A beautiful example of Palestinian artistry and cultural heritage, these exquisite baskets have historically served as utilitarian yet decorative tools of daily life used to hold and carry fruits, vegetables and bread. Each one-of-a-kind basket is handwoven by skilled artisans in the West Bank. 

Approximately 15 inches in diameter.
