Chiqui Chiqui Tortillera Basket plate Technique : handcrafted potteryOrigin : Indigenous reserve el Paujil, Porvenir community, Colombia Technique : basket weaving Materials : chiqui chiqui fiber Approximate dimensions : 8 1 2 d x 5 3 4 h We love the bold look of this purely black Chiqui Chiqui woven basket with lid. The deep black color is achieved by immersing the brown chiqui chiqui in water and soil for many weeks a natural and slow process that makes us appreciate the simple elegance of this basketry weave.
