Mehinako Kunho Basket | Mixed Pigment Graphism
$68.00
Heritage and Artistry
An expression of Upper Xingu craftsmanship, the Kunho is a traditional Mehinako vessel. Each piece is hand-sculpted from wild Alapiti (river vine) to form a resilient structural body, meticulously detailed with Xepeku and Xapïtï—delicate fibers drawn from the young Buriti palm spine. This lightweight, open weave balances flexibility and strength, historically crafted for catching small river fish and drying forest harvests.
Mixed Pigment Graphism
These variations feature distinct cotton died color patterns that reflect Mehinako ethnographic modern expression, translating cultural identity & symbolism.
