PURPLE CHUMIL BASKET

Our artisan partners named this basket "Chumil," the Kaqchikel word for "star." Skillfully woven from longleaf pine needles, pajón (a native grass in Guatemala), and raffia, with a central star design rendered in shades of green or purple, this basket is beautiful for display but also entirely functional.

• Materials: Pine needles, pajón and raffia
• Measurements: 10" diameter exclusive of handles, 14" including handles
• Handmade in Guatemala

The purchase of this basket provides consistent income at fair wages to women weavers in Guatemala allowing them to support their families using traditional basket weaving techniques.
