Artisan Cylinder Collection – Earth Weave & Patterned Rhythm – Enkito e Oltau (Step of Gathering).
More than baskets—this collection is a woven chorus of form, color, and ancestral precision.
Presenting the Enkito e Oltau Cylinder Collection: nine handwoven vessels arranged in upright harmony, each featuring a distinct pattern—from bold bands to houndstooth and checkered motifs. Crafted from natural fibers and dyed in earthy tones of brown, beige, red, black, and white, these baskets embody both utility and visual storytelling. Whether used for storage, display, or ceremonial offerings, they bring grounded elegance to any space.
