Woven Vase Trio with Artisan Basket Ensemble - Circle of Containment & Bloom – Enkito e Oltau (Step of Offering).

More than a storefront—this ensemble is a woven invocation of grounding, rhythm, and ceremonial grace.

Introducing the Enkito e Oltau Circle of Containment & Bloom: three large woven vases with earthy brown and beige stripes, two filled with dried floral arrangements in tones of red, rust, and cream. They rest among cylindrical baskets—some stacked, some side-by-side—each crafted with natural fibers and adorned with subtle vertical patterns or handles. A small wooden stool lifts one vase into prominence, while the glass window behind reflects the rhythm of woven tradition.

Artisan Connection:

Handwoven by cooperatives in Nyeri, Kenya, the baskets and vases blend Kikuyu hosting geometry with Maasai ceremonial symbolism. The striped vessels evoke movement and grounding, while the dried blooms suggest breath, memory, and seasonal offering. Each piece is shaped with intention—offering containment, celebration, and ancestral rhythm.
