Nested Wooden Bowls with Beaded Mala - Circle of Reflection & Ritual – Enkito e Naramat (Step of Stillness).

More than a tabletop—this arrangement is a carved invocation of breath, memory, and ceremonial grounding.

Introducing the Enkito e Naramat Circle of Reflection & Ritual: a quiet ensemble of polished wooden bowls, nested in harmony and crowned with a black beaded mala featuring a coarse beige tassel. The bowls’ natural grain patterns evoke rhythm and lineage, while the mala—often used in meditation or blessing—adds spiritual clarity and tactile grace. Set against a backdrop of woven and wooden accents, the scene becomes a moment of pause, perfect for boutique interiors, gifting rituals, or sacred hosting.

Artisan Connection:

Hand-carved by woodworkers in Nyeri, Kenya, the bowls are shaped from grevillea and olive wood using lathe-turning and hand-finishing techniques that reflect ancestral rhythm and elemental care. The mala is strung with glossy black beads, symbolizing protection and focus, and finished with a tassel made from baobab fiber or cotton thread—often used in rituals of grounding and intention-setting.
