About the Item
This 20th-century Emberá-Wounaan basket is a masterpiece of indigenous artistry, exemplifying the extraordinary craftsmanship of the Emberá-Wounaan people from Panama and Colombia. Woven with intricate skill, it features a captivating all-over sea turtle pattern, paying homage to the coastal ecosystems intrinsic to their lives. What makes this basket truly exceptional is the presence of a prominent star motif on its bottom, showcasing the artisans' attention to detail and the complexity of their designs.
Handwoven from natural palm leaves, this basket is a testament to the weaving techniques passed down through generations. Every stitch and pattern represents the Emberá-Wounaan's profound connection with nature and the rich heritage of their culture. Whether displayed as a work of art or used practically, this basket serves as a unique and beautiful embodiment of their enduring creativity and cultural significance, allowing the traditions of the Emberá-Wounaan to shine through.
