FLORAL & PICTORIAL BASKETS

Pictorial motifs on baskets are called “natura” and often include local flowers, trees, birds, and other flora and fauna native to the weavers indigenous lands.

GEOMETRIC DESIGNS

Geometric, or “cultural” motifs draw their inspiration from multiple sources, including pre-Colombian textiles, ceramics and rock art.
