Description

Reprosa Panama Chunga Basket — Emberá/Wounaan Floral, 6" Dia

Handmade Chunga basket retailed by Reprosa “Treasures of Panama,” with original tag/booklet. Finely coiled chunga palm fibers, naturally dyed, form a rounded globular vessel with an eight-point star to the base and stylized floral/foliage bands around the body. The palette - natural cream, deep green/teal, pink, red, and black - contrasts crisply against the dark rim. The workmanship and motifs are characteristic of Emberá/Wounaan weavers from Darién, Panama, and make a striking display piece for shelf or tabletop.

A thoughtful example of contemporary Panamanian indigenous basketry, suitable for design lovers and collectors of Latin American craft. The included Reprosa documentation supports origin and materials, adding useful provenance for gifting or collection records.
