20" (51 cms diameter)
The talented women weavers of the two related aboriginal groups, Embera and Wounaan, are residents of the incredibly dense and abundantly biodiverse forests found in the Darien region of Panama. The raw materials employed to create this basketwork (split, dried and naturally dyed wild ‘chunga’ and ‘naguala’ palm fronds) and the weaving technique are offshoots of their traditional ‘hosig di’ baskets.
Embera and Wounaan weavers are creators of the, arguably, finest traditional baskets in the world. This example of such stunning design and technique is a large woven plate (perfect artwork for wall display) with a mandala-like design consisting of a central turtle motif and intricate centrifugal patterns radiating outwards – all in a handsome black and white format.
