<p> We just can’t get enough of our uniquely sculptural Sika Basket. Traditionally known as a yoomelingah-yure or bent pot, this gorgeous vessel comes to us from the Bolgatanga region of northeastern Ghana, where it was handwoven by skilled local craftswomen dried vetiver grass harvested from nearby riverbanks. We were instantly charmed by Sika’s rounded curves, twisting, wave-like shape and slouchy relaxed feel. Along with this stunning form, it’s also incredibly functional — great for stowing away clutter in any room of the house or filled with a display of earthy branches or dried botanicals. Right at home in any organic-chic space, Sika is sure to add a pop of natural texture and global-chic style wherever it goes.
