Circle the basket and companions appear: a marigold-orange butterfly and a soft taupe-and-cream one, while a collar of green leaves rings the neck. For the Wounaan people of Panama's Darién rainforest, the butterfly is a spirit of transformation and renewal, a soul made visible. This handwoven basket was woven by Wounaan artists Erta Piraza and Edith.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.8; color: #6b4f3a; margin: 0 0 16px;\"\u003eIt is made in hösig di, the coiled weaving tradition handed down through generations of Wounaan women. Strands of sustainably harvested werregue palm are split needle-fine and dyed with natural plant-based pigments — the dark chocolate brown of the body, ivory, crimson, olive, and marigold — then stitched in unbroken coils over weeks of patient craftsmanship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.8; color: #6b4f3a; margin: 0 0 24px;\"\u003eThe dark ground makes each butterfly glow, so the basket reads dramatically from across a room despite its four-inch size. Tuck it on a stack of books, a windowsill, or among ceramics on open shelving where its colors can flicker. Each piece is completely unique — a one-of-one record of its weavers' hands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"height: 1px; background: #EDE8DF; margin: 0 0 20px;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin: 0 0 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 11px; font-weight: 600; letter-spacing: 0.12em; text-transform: uppercase; color: #2a1f14; margin: 0 0 10px;\"\u003eDetails\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.9; color: #4a3828; margin: 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong style=\"font-weight: 500; color: #2a1f14;\"\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approx. 4″ diameter × 4″ H (10 × 10 cm)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong style=\"font-weight: 500; color: #2a1f14;\"\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Werregue palm fiber, natural plant-based dyes\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong style=\"font-weight: 500; color: #2a1f14;\"\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Handwoven in Darién Province, Panama by Wounaan artisans\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong style=\"font-weight: 500; color: #2a1f14;\"\u003eArtist:\u003c\/strong\u003e Erta Piraza and Edith\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong style=\"font-weight: 500; color: #2a1f14;\"\u003eTechnique:\u003c\/strong\u003e hösig di coil weaving\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong style=\"font-weight: 500; color: #2a1f14;\"\u003eEdition:\u003c\/strong\u003e One of one · SKU SPM-3679\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"height: 1px; background: #EDE8DF; margin: 0 0 20px;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.75; color: #6b4f3a; margin: 0 0 6px;\"\u003eSourced directly from Wounaan weavers in Panama's Darién rainforest — selected in person by Jen on each sourcing trip, purchased at fair prices with no intermediaries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0;\"\u003e\n\u003ca style=\"color: #b85c38; font-size: 12px; letter-spacing: 0.12em; text-transform: uppercase; text-decoration: none; font-weight: 500; border-bottom: 1px solid rgba(184,92,56,0.35); padding-bottom: 2px;\" href=\"\/pages\/wounaan-rainforest-baskets\"\u003eLearn about Wounaan hösig di weaving →\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"One-of-a-kind | Woven in Panama","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51337593913659,"sku":"SPM-3679","price":280.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0872\/0069\/4587\/files\/SPM-3679-hand.png?v=1781278934","url":"https:\/\/woven.art\/products\/cacao-butterfly-basket-handwoven-wounaan-art","provider":"RFB Woven Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
