I've always been profoundly impressed by the quality of its research and its writing and how readily accessible it makes otherwise complex world affairs. Each of its ten annual editions is a short course in something profound.

What motivated the founders of the New Internationalist magazine was a high idealism; a real sense that we could change things; that if people knew the facts about what was going on, then they could actually have the wherewithal to campaign and try to make the world a better place.

Small decorative bowls for storing trinkets or display. Exquisitely handwoven by Swazi women from sisal, a weed in Swaziland, using a fine coiling technique. All steps of production are carried out by hand, including cleaning, dyeing and spinning the sisal.Tintsaba baskets have been recognized as world class, transcending traditional craft into gallery art.

Two designs available, the earthy 'Trees' design, and the striking 'Starburst'.

Approximately 16 cm dia, 6 cm deep.

Small variations in colour and shape attest to their handmade character and are part of their charm.
