Against the pale cream ground the red and brown-black flowers seem to flicker upward toward the dark rim. This miniature vessel was handwoven by Wounaan artist Elida Mejia in Panama's Darién rainforest, where heliconias light up the forest understory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.8; color: #6b4f3a; margin: 0 0 16px;\"\u003eElida weaves in the traditional hösig di coil technique passed down through generations, using sustainably harvested werregue palm fibers. The deep crimson and brown-black are natural plant-based dyes set against undyed cream fiber, and rendering blooms this detailed on a basket just three inches tall takes weeks of patient, painstaking work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.8; color: #6b4f3a; margin: 0 0 24px;\"\u003eThe vining pattern circles the basket without beginning or end, so every turn reveals a new cluster of blooms. Petite enough for a desk, a vanity, or a curio shelf, it adds a vivid spark of the rainforest to small spaces. Like all Wounaan woven art, it is completely unique — no two of Elida's vines ever climb the same way.\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. 3″ diameter × 3″ H (8 × 8 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 Elida Mejia\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 HER-099\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":51337591259451,"sku":"HER-099","price":275.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0872\/0069\/4587\/files\/HER-099-hand.png?v=1781278742","url":"https:\/\/woven.art\/products\/heliconia-vine-tiny-basket-handwoven-wounaan-art","provider":"RFB Woven Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
