12" (30 cms) diameter
Museum quality traditional basketwork created by two related tribes of the Darien region between Panama and Colombia, the Embera and Wounaan.
These women weavers are making, arguably, the finest autochthonous traditional baskets in the world. These impressive rainforest baskets are made by virtue of two key elements: the endemic, wild palm tree species that provide the young fronds. These are split and create the basic structure of the baskets, and of course, the ancestral knowledge of the Native women of the Darien region expressed in the colours obtained from their surroundings and the complex stitching techniques employed since time immemorial.
This starburst design in this woven plate is a dazzling marvel of weaving technique and design - perfect as wall art for hanging.
