Karajá Buriti Purse
Karajá purses are made from Buriti straw and dyed naturally with tree bark. Their patterns refer to animal body parts or to nature elements found in their forests.
The Karajá people inhabit lands in the states of Tocantins, Mato Grosso and Goiás, along the Araguaia River.
The art of the Iny, their self-denomination, consists of basketry, feather art and Ritxoko ceramic dolls.
Traditionally used to store seeds or food, baskets can be used to store objects or as a cachepot for potted plants.

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!
