Kisêdjê Basket
This basket is made of buriti fiber and dyed cotton threads.
The Kisêdjê (also known as Suyá) inhabit the southeast of the Xingú Indígenous Park since the 50's. Their ancestral territory was in the Arinos River region, Tapajós basin.
For the Kisêdjê people, the ear and the listening are extremely valued. "Is in my ear" is a significant figure of speech from the combination of the words Kisêdjê and kumba (to hear), which designates a group of important attributes on a Kisêdjê person: to hear, to understand and to know.

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!
