Street Ritual Display of Woven Baskets and Carved Vessels– Enkito e Oltau (Step of Offering).

More than a market scene—this is a woven invocation of rhythm, utility, and ancestral grace.

Introducing the Enkito e Oltau Circle of Earth & Offering: a curated sidewalk display of handwoven baskets and carved wooden vessels, each shaped from natural fibers and indigenous hardwoods. Resting on tiled stone and framed by urban rhythm, these pieces transform commerce into ceremony and form into chant.
