Origin : Baniwa ethnic group - Amazon (Brazil/Colombia/Venezuela)
This piece made from arumã straw can be used with a fruit bowl or as a lamp (does not include wiring or lamp socket).
History : The Baniwa (read Baniuá) live in the Amazon, between the borders of Brazil with Colombia and Venezuela, in villages located on the banks of the Içana River and its tributaries Cuiari, Aiairi and Cubaté. They are excellent artisans in making baskets using the stem of the arumã (an herbaceous plant), vines, dyes and natural fixatives. Basketry is rich in graphics, and this ancient art has been passed down through generations. This piece can be used as a fruit bowl or as a lamp if inverted and fitted with an electrical cable and lamp socket (not included).
Note : Because they are produced by hand, each piece is unique, with no two being exactly the same. There may be small variations in dimensions (more or less), colors and tones between the pieces and between what is perceived on cell phone or computer screens and the real pieces.
