Jemima 10 Cows (Tiny) Basket - Desert Grove

More than storage, the Jemima 10 Cows (Tiny) Basket in Desert Grove is a tribute to mastery, legacy, and sculptural beauty. A woven form that brings instant presence to a room. For those who value heritage and design.

With its rich tones, refined texture, and sculptural silhouette, this petite interpretation of the original Jemima design doesn’t merely complement a space; it elevates it, adding warmth, intention, and quiet distinction in a beautifully scaled form.

Where it lives beautifully

• Entryway Console: Acts as an eye-catching focal point for guests as they enter your home.
• Side Table: Use on its own or to elevate a small, potted succulent or air plant, adding a touch of natural, living texture to your living room styling.
• Open Shelving: Alongside books or curated objects to introduce a layer of architectural depth.
• Dining Table: A plant-filled basket serves as a living centerpiece, providing a vibrant, grounding element that anchors your seating area’s aesthetic
• Mantelpiece: On a mantel with your favourite items, creating a refined, elevated vignette that draws the eye and highlights the craftsmanship of the piece.

Timeless curves. Living heritage. Woven legacy.

This basket blends modern design sensibility with deep ancestral roots. Named after Jemima Akolgo, the first woman in Bolgatanga to weave this innovative silhouette, each basket carries her legacy in every thread. Her artistry sparked a movement in her community, creating a style now celebrated worldwide.

Handwoven from 100% elephant grass using techniques passed down through generations, these baskets can take up to two days to complete. The secure double-strand twist technique enhances durability while preserving the graceful movement of the form, allowing each piece to function as both heirloom and sculpture.

This basket holds history, pride, and artistry.
