Kax Buriti Basket Kayapó
This beautiful basket combines natural plant fibers with colorful cotton thread made by Artisans of the Mekragnoti Kayapó indigenous lands
Kax - as this basket is called in its original Kayapó language - is originally used to carry any harvest from the indigenous land.
Women usually hang the handle around their heads while they walk many miles among nature collecting food and plant material that will serve their community.
This basket translates into a unique decorative item to any environment, and it can be used to store blankets or as a shoulder bag to carry our daily groceries.

Care Instructions
Indigenous arts are made out of natural materials, and therefore require great tending and care. Please keep the pieces in a dry place and avoid long periods of sun exposure, especially for the art that contains colors in it. Remember that the stalk and fiber from plants tend to soften overtime and gain new shape as we wear them!
Enjoy your indigenous art and contact us if you have any questions!
