In Wounaan cosmology the butterfly carries the promise of transformation — the night-dark ground here makes its wings read like moonlight in the Darién rainforest. The basket is the joint work of 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;\"\u003eBoth butterflies are built in hösig di coil weaving, a discipline passed down through generations. The weavers harvest werregue palm sustainably, split the fiber into fine strands, and dye it with natural plant-based colors — saturated black, ivory, emerald and olive green, crimson, and plum — working coil upon coil through 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 high contrast gives this five-inch basket real presence: from a distance it reads as bold graphic art, up close the eyespots and stitch-work reveal themselves. Set it against light walls or pale wood where the black ground can anchor a shelf or console vignette. Completely one of a kind, it carries its weavers' hands in every stitch.\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. 5″ diameter × 4″ H (13 × 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-3680\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":51337593946427,"sku":"SPM-3680","price":235.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0872\/0069\/4587\/files\/SPM-3680-hand.png?v=1781278935","url":"https:\/\/woven.art\/products\/midnight-wings-basket-handwoven-wounaan-art","provider":"RFB Woven Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
