Mayan Basket - Celestina

This beautiful table basket is hand-woven with sustainably sourced long leaf pine needles and pajón, a native wild grass, with natural and dyed raffia, featuring a shallow wide bowl with sloping sides. Made by talented women in Guatemala, these heirloom quality baskets are perfect for fruits and vegetables, as a bread bowl, or even hung as wall decoration. These handmade baskets are unique and each may vary slightly. 14" l x 14" w x 2" h  Made in Guatemala. Our import partner is a fair trade nonprofit organization partnering with about 200 talented Mayan women in the Guatemala Highlands. Though recognized worldwide as extraordinary weavers and artisans, Mayan women experience discrimination, poverty, and marginalization in their home country. However, when provided with economic and educational opportunity, our artisan partners and their families thrive. Families access better nutrition and health care, children – even the girls – attend school, and women invest in their local economies.
