REDUCED! Was $450! A basket from the Wounaan tribe in Colombia. The baskets from the Colombian side of the border are made in the same way as those from the Panamanian side, but the shapes differ somewhat. After painstakingly planning out motifs, the women shred palm frond to make thread. Dyes are extracted from sources such as jagua fruit (blue-black) and pucham leaves (pink). Utilizing fiber from the Nahuala bush, the basket maker forms a coil. She then sews the palm frond thread around the coil, using a needle. A fine basket can take months to make.Circumference: 15.5", height: 6.5".
