The Urutu Baniwa Decorative Jar Basket is handwoven by Baniwa Indigenous artisans from the Upper Rio Negro region of Amazonas, Brazil, using natural arumã fiber and traditional weaving techniques passed down through generations.
Its sculptural jar-shaped silhouette and intricate open weave combine natural, red, and dark-toned fibers to create a distinctive decorative piece rooted in Baniwa basketry traditions.
Traditionally, Urutu baskets are part of Baniwa daily life and are used for storing food, flour, clothing, and other items. Today, their remarkable craftsmanship also allows them to be appreciated as expressive objects of Brazilian Indigenous art and contemporary home décor.
Perfect as a decorative vessel, shelf accent, tabletop object, or planter cover, this piece brings natural texture, cultural identity, and authentic handcrafted character into the home.
