These two aboriginal groups are residents of the incredibly dense forest and abundant biodiversity found in the Darien region of Panama. Women basket weavers of the indigenous Embera and Wounaan 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 dazzling 'mandala' consisting of tropical rainforest foliage and butterflies swirling within traditional geometric edge ring. The raw materials employed (split, dried and naturally dyed wild 'chunga' and 'naguala' palm fronds) and the weaving technique are offshoots of the traditional indigenous 'hosig di' baskets of the Darien, Panama.
