Tonga Baskets from Zambia

Zanzibar Trading Company, continuing a relationship with the Choma Museum and Crafts Centre Trust Ltd (CMCC), in Choma, in the center of the Southern Province of Zambia, Africa is proud to present beautiful Munyumbwe and Plateau Baskets. We also have other styles of baskets similar from Zimbabwe.

DUE TO CIVIL WARS in the region, sourcing these baskets has become EXTREMELY difficult. Our inventories are LIMITED. Please call before placing orders.

The crafts divisions of the CMCC are associated with about 450 crafts makers, primarily women (400) who are subsistence farmers who derive badly needed cash income from their crafts making. The CMCC seeks to promote Zambian crafts and culture by assisting in marketing, skill development and local organization of producers. The skill development is based on traditional techniques, materials, and design.
