Maasai Nesting Ground – 'Enkátá Oltau' (Gathering Ground) – Radial Woven Basket Duo.

Maasai Nesting Ground – 'Enkátá Oltau' (Gathering Ground) – Radial Woven Basket Duo.

Contain rhythm. Weave memory. Ground ancestral breath. This sculptural basket duo draws from the Maasai concept of Oltau—gathering ground, where form becomes ritual and texture becomes story. It’s a tactile offering of containment, visual layering, and ceremonial grounding.

Crafted with tightly woven natural fibers and radial symmetry, the two baskets nest within each other—evoking breath, protection, and ancestral rhythm. Their circular form and layered placement symbolize continuity, hosting, and sacred readiness.
