This beautiful and tightly woven Vintage gathering basket is made by indigenous Yanomami natives who live in seclusion in the rain forests of Brazil and Venezuela. The Yonamami women weave and decorate baskets in geometric patterns using masticated charcoal pigment. The basket is uniquely hand-made of natural fibers. It is in flawless condition, the weave tight and secure. The bottom is decorated with a cross “X” detail, hand stained in charcoal black. The “X” detail is also lightly seen on the interior as well. I’ve had it in my family since the 1920s or 30s. Perfect for the serious art collector and makes a great wall or table display.
Please view all images of the photos and the video, these are also part of the description. Thank you for shopping my closet.

Greetings fellow basket lover and collector. This is actually a Yanamami basket from Amazonia. If you Google them you will see ones very similar with the same markings. Beautiful old piece of fiber art history!
