About the Item
This 20th-century Yanomami basket is a remarkable example of traditional indigenous craftsmanship. Hand-woven in reeds and meticulously decorated with wavy lines and circles painted with ash, this basket is not only a practical tool but also a beautiful piece of art.
The Yanomami are indigenous people who inhabit the rainforests of the Amazon. For the Yanomami, basket weaving is not just a craft but an essential part of their day-to-day lives and culture. Baskets like these are used for a variety of purposes, including gathering and storing food, carrying items, and even for ritualistic and ceremonial purposes.
Each basket is unique, reflecting the skill and creativity of the artisan who crafted it. This particular basket serves as a tangible link to the rich cultural heritage of the Yanomami people, showcasing their ingenuity, resourcefulness, and artistic expression.
