Purple-Banded Basket Duo with Artisan Chairs - Circle of Stripe & Seat – Enkito e Emayian (Step of Celebration).

More than a market display—this ensemble is a woven invocation of movement, hosting, and ancestral rhythm.

Introducing the Enkito e Emayian Circle of Stripe & Seat: two cylindrical baskets with leather handles, each woven in bold purple and straw bands—one in diagonal motion, the other in horizontal chant. Behind them, rounded woven chairs echo the rhythm of rest and readiness, while colorful artisan goods layer the scene with festive cadence.

The purple bands evoke celebration and protection, while the leather handles suggest grip, movement, and sacred readiness.
