Artisan Basket Quintet in Earth & Ember - Circle of Pattern & Path – Enkito e Emayian (Step of Celebration).

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

Introducing the Enkito e Emayian Circle of Pattern & Path: five handwoven baskets arranged in a rhythmic sidewalk display, each with distinct weaves and color stories—reddish-brown, beige, red-striped, brown-diagonal, and yellow-striped. Framed by a shop window filled with woven trays and vessels, this ensemble transforms containment into ceremony and fiber into chant.

The stripes evoke journey and celebration, the earthy tones suggest grounding and breath, and the diagonal motifs offer movement and sacred mapping.
