Artisan Basket Ensemble with Mirror & Fan - Circle of Color & Reflection – Enkito e Emayian (Step of Celebration).
More than a shopfront—this ensemble is a woven invocation of rhythm, memory, and ceremonial joy.
Introducing the Enkito e Emayian Circle of Color & Reflection: a vibrant collection of cylindrical woven containers, multicolored wall hangings, and a circular mirror framed in natural fibers. A radiant fan with looped handle anchors the wall, while a wicker lamp casts warm light over the scene. The mirror reflects woven vessels and playful animal motifs on a green wall, layering the space with rhythm, breath, and ancestral geometry.
Artisan Connection:
Handwoven by cooperatives in Nyeri, Kenya, this ensemble blends Kikuyu hosting geometry with Maasai ceremonial symbolism. The mirror evokes memory and framing, the fan suggests movement and festive gesture, and the baskets offer containment and sacred pause.
