Striped Woven Baskets on Mat - Circle of Rhythm & Rest – Enkito e Naramat (Step of Stillness).

More than storage—this trio is a woven invocation of rhythm, grounding, and ceremonial pause.

Introducing the Enkito e Naramat Circle of Rhythm & Rest: three cylindrical baskets crafted from natural fibers, each adorned with horizontal stripes in black, brown, and orange. Resting on a circular woven mat that echoes their texture and tone, the ensemble invites stillness and symmetry. Designed for boutique interiors, gifting rituals, or sacred hosting, this arrangement transforms containment into calm and pattern into presence.

Artisan Connection:

Handwoven by cooperatives in Nyeri, Kenya, the baskets and mat are shaped using coiling and plaiting techniques that reflect Maasai shield symbolism and seasonal rhythm. The colored stripes represent elemental harmony—black for grounding, brown for earth, orange for vitality. The mat beneath anchors the trio in unity and breath.
