Rolled Mat - Circle of Ground & Memory – Enkito e Oltau (Step of Gathering).

More than a storefront—this arrangement is a woven invocation of grounding, rhythm, and ancestral breath.

Introducing the Enkito e Oltau Circle of Ground & Memory: a curated exterior display featuring five large rolled mats made from natural fibers, leaning against a glass window that reveals woven baskets and circular wall hangings inside. The mats suggest ceremonial layering and seasonal transitions, while the baskets and wall pieces echo protection, offering, and visual rhythm. Designed for boutique interiors, gifting rituals, or ceremonial corners, this ensemble transforms utility into artistry and texture into tradition.

Artisan Connection:

Handwoven by cooperatives in Nyeri, Kenya, the mats are crafted from sisal and baobab fiber using coiling and flat-weave techniques. The baskets and circular hangings reflect Maasai shield symbolism and sacred geometry. The green and white storefront adds elemental contrast and visibility, anchoring the scene in cultural storytelling.
