    Description

    A beautiful example of Wounaan (Panama Indian tribe) basket.   The Wounaan weavers are thought by many to be the finest in the world.  The art has been perfected since there is now a worldwide market for these collectible masterpieces, and the women can weave full time.  Natural split palm fibers (same as Panama hats) native dyes, and lots and lots of work.
    This is a beautiful example, with a variety of different butterflies and orchids.  A beautiful piece of art.
    appx 8" tall, 9" wide, 29" circumference.   Weighs a little over a pound.  Paid 5 for it in late 90s, early 00s.   See card for weaver's name and village.
