Woven Pendant Starburst in Ceremonial Color - Circle of Adornment & Rhythm – Enkito e Emayian (Step of Celebration).
More than pendants—this is a woven invocation of movement, unity, and ancestral breath.
Introducing the Enkito e Emayian Circle of Adornment & Rhythm: six handcrafted semicircular pendants arranged in a starburst formation, their handles converging at the center and wrapped in vibrant threads that echo the woven patterns. Each pendant bursts with ceremonial color—orange, green, blue, yellow, purple, and straw—woven into rhythmic geometry that signals identity and celebration. This piece transforms adornment into signal and symmetry into chant.
Artisan Connection:
Handwoven by cooperatives in Nyeri, Kenya, these pendants blend Kikuyu hosting geometry with Maasai ceremonial symbolism. The starburst arrangement evokes rhythm and unity, the color palette suggests joy and clarity, and the pendant form offers breath and movement.
