## Title Bolga Tub by Sarah Adolinaba

## Subtitle Handwoven from elephant grass in Bolgatanga, Ghana, by a named weaver. 20 inches by 11 inches. The basket carries the maker's signature on the tag.

## Description The Bolga basket is one of West Africa's distinctive crafts — handwoven from elephant grass cut in the Upper East Region of Ghana, hand-twisted into rope, hand-dyed with natural pigments, and hand-woven on a traditional radial pattern. The technique has been refined over generations in Bolgatanga; the baskets travel the world, but the makers usually remain anonymous.

The Baba Tree Basket Company is one of the few cooperatives that names every weaver on every product. The Woven Tub is a 20-by-11-inch cylindrical storage basket made by Sarah Adolinaba — for laundry, for blankets, for firewood, for whatever a household needs to hold. The basket arrives flat-packed and reshapes when humidified. It will serve for decades.

Baba Tree pays fair commission and provides medical-expense support for its weavers. The price reflects what fair labor and named provenance actually cost.

Every purchase funds one sauna session for one cancer patient. The basket holds a household's small warmths. The funded session is a different kind of warmth, a stranger's body, the same logic.
