About the Item

This piece of native Brazilian ceramics, created by the Wauja tribe of the Haut-Xingu Park, skillfully combines tradition and contemporaneity. Made according to ancestral methods and decorated with graphics inspired by the Kulupienê, Yanumaka and Temepiyana traditions, this captivating work testifies to the cultural richness of its people. The natural pigments used to paint the graphic patterns add an organic depth to the whole, thus highlighting the importance of the connection with the earth and nature in Wauja cosmology. These graphics, much more than just decorations, are symbols of the community's identity and worldview. Measuring 35 x 27 x 24 cm, this piece captivates with its originality and visual power. Each line, each motif, tells an ancient story while being part of the contemporary context. In addition, the purchase of this coin directly supports the Wauja indigenous community, with 15% of the profits donated to a fund intended to help them. By acquiring this work, you therefore participate in the preservation of the culture and traditions of this unique people, while adding an authentic and vibrant touch to your space.
