This palmyra leaf basket is a shallow, handwoven basket made from thal leaf. Thal is the leaf of the palmyra palm. Also, it is a natural, eco friendly basket for serving food and sweets.
Size of the palmyra leaf basket
The basket is about 9 to 10 inches wide. So it suits sweets, fruit, snacks or a small meal. However, the size is not exact because each basket is woven by hand.
It is light and easy to pass around the table.
Woven from thal leaf
The palmyra palm grows in the hot north of Sri Lanka. Skilled weavers weave the pale thal leaf into a strong basket. Then they add coloured strips. Over time, thal leaf turns a little yellowish. This is a natural effect of the leaf.
Also, it is light, so even kids can carry it with ease.
Many ways to use your palmyra leaf basket
Serve kavum, kokis or short eats in it. Also, use it for fruit on the table. For example, it looks lovely at an Avurudu table.
Also, it works as a gift basket for almsgivings and office events.
Why choose palmyra products
Palmyra products are light, natural and non-toxic. So they are a good choice instead of plastic. Moreover, every palmyra leaf basket supports weavers in the north.
Many people also use it to display small items on a shop counter.
Easy care
Wipe the basket with a dry cloth. Then keep it in a dry place. Also, keep it dry after use.
Also, store it flat or hang it on a hook.
