Urutu basketry from Arumã | Pakara

The Pakará straw basketwork with lid is a genuine cultural richness that exalts the role of women in Brazilian indigenous art.
The handicrafts made from natural fiber baskets from Arumã, originally used as domestic utensils by the indigenous women of the ethnic group, display the beauty of the drawings and geometric shapes that take shape in the braiding of naturally dyed straw. When handled in its raw state or pigmented with ash, the already processed arumã fiber gives structure to an infinity of indigenous ethnic patterns full of meanings.

The historical and artistic value of each Amazonian piece of art made by women and sustainability is maintained throughout the manufacturing process - from handling the arumã to the banks of a creek. Among the diversity of straw baskets produced by the people, this hamper/mandala in natural fiber stands out, which becomes an exclusive decoration.
