Artisan Basket Display with Fan Accent - Circle of Containment & Color – Enkito e Oltau (Step of Offering).

More than a market spread—this ensemble is a woven invocation of rhythm, texture, and ceremonial readiness.

Introducing the Enkito e Oltau Circle of Containment & Color: a curated display of handcrafted baskets and containers arranged on a floral-patterned textile. Two tall cylindrical baskets with black handles anchor the scene—one in natural weave, the other in bold diagonal red striping. A fan-like woven accent bursts from the center, surrounded by smaller vessels in varied shapes and textures. A green corrugated wall and striped textile backdrop add rhythm and grounding, transforming containment into chant and fiber into storytelling.
