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

Where it lives beautifully

- 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

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.

This basket is speaking to me in so many ways. I love the “movement” and “energy” it brings to this space. It currently sits beside my reading chair that has been in my family for years with the beautiful Krado blanket. It’s calming energy encourages peace, while at the same time brings so much Afrocentric style and grace.
