Artisan Basket Octet in Earth & Ember - Circle of Color & Craft – Enkito e Emayian (Step of Celebration).

More than baskets—this octet is a woven invocation of movement, memory, and ancestral rhythm.

Introducing the Enkito e Emayian Circle of Color & Craft: eight cylindrical baskets arranged in layered harmony, each handwoven from natural fibers and adorned with bold patterns—black diamonds, brown stripes, red bands, and blue accents. Resting on a parquet floor against a pale wall, this ensemble transforms containment into ceremony and fiber into chant.
