A collection of eight Wounaan Indian woven baskets, including a large vase, a small lidded pot & large lidded pot, a handled basket, two shallow bowl shapes, and two larger decorative bowls. The baskets feature geometric patterns in brown and natural tones.

Largest: 12" H x 18" W; smallest: 4.5" H x 4.5" W

Wounaan Indian woven baskets are highly intricate, award-winning art pieces handcrafted by Embera-Wounaan women in Panama’s Darien rainforest using natural chunga (black palm) and nahuala fibers. These baskets use fine coiling techniques-sometimes called silk stitching-to create detailed, durable, and often geometric or nature-inspired designs, which can take months to produce.
