Maasai Woven Vessel Ensemble – 'Enkátá Rátutaté' (Three Seasons) – Ritual Baskets & Floral Gourd.

Weave rhythm. Hold memory. Celebrate seasonality. This sculptural ensemble draws from the Maasai concept of Rátutaté—the three seasons that shape life’s cycles: rain, sun, and wind. Each vessel is a tribute to containment, offering, and ancestral rhythm.

Crafted by Maasai women in Oloitokitok and Laikipia, the set features circular woven baskets displayed upright as symbolic shields, and a gourd-shaped vase filled with dried florals that echo seasonal transitions and ritual beauty.
