In Wounaan cosmology, stepped geometric motifs like these evoke pathways and river currents — the ordered movement that runs through rainforest life. This decorative basket was handwoven by a Wounaan artisan in Panama's Darién rainforest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.8; color: #6b4f3a; margin: 0 0 16px;\"\u003eThe piece is worked in traditional hösig di coil weaving, a technique passed down through generations, using sustainably harvested werregue palm fibers. Its colors come entirely from natural plant-based dyes — the vivid crimson from achiote, the blacks and deep browns from jagua fruit, the olive-gold from rainforest barks and leaves — built up stitch by stitch 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 pattern reads kinetic, like woven motion — the steps seem to flicker as you turn the basket. At about three inches, it is an ideal desk piece or shelf accent, and a saturated counterpoint to black-and-white baskets in a collector's grouping of Wounaan woven art. Each piece is completely unique, with color shifts and variations that reflect the weaver's hand.\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;\"\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-052\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":51337590079803,"sku":"HER-052","price":205.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0872\/0069\/4587\/files\/HER-052-hand.png?v=1781278529","url":"https:\/\/woven.art\/products\/mini-crimson-steps-basket-handwoven-wounaan-art","provider":"RFB Woven Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
