Handwoven in Colombia by master artisan Plinio Opua, the piece is formed from a dense core of werregue palm fiber sourced from the Chocó rainforest and wrapped in copper wire that develops a deeper patina over time through handling and exposure to light.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:15px;line-height:1.8;color:#6B4F3A;margin:0 0 24px\"\u003e\nMaster Wounaan weavers transform wild werregue palm fibers into a precisely structured flat-woven form using ancestral techniques passed down through generations. Copper wire is carefully applied in continuous motion over the palm base, building subtle radiating structure and tonal depth across the surface. This controlled process reflects both technical mastery and a deep sensitivity to material behavior and balance.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"height:1px;background:#EDE8DF;margin:0 0 20px\"\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  \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 17″ W × 4″ D\u003cbr\u003e\n    \u003cstrong style=\"font-weight:500;color:#2A1F14\"\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Copper wire over palm fiber, natural dyes\u003cbr\u003e\n    \u003cstrong style=\"font-weight:500;color:#2A1F14\"\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Colombia (handwoven)\u003cbr\u003e\n    \u003cstrong style=\"font-weight:500;color:#2A1F14\"\u003eConstruction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand-coiled flat woven plate\u003cbr\u003e\n    \u003cstrong style=\"font-weight:500;color:#2A1F14\"\u003eEdition:\u003c\/strong\u003e One of one · SKU MAG-127\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"height:1px;background:#EDE8DF;margin:0 0 20px\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:13px;line-height:1.75;color:#6B4F3A;margin:0 0 6px\"\u003e\nEach Colombian Wounaan basket is purchased directly from the artist at fair prices that support families, preserve tradition, and sustain local economies.
