Mantiteka Basket by Kayapo Artisans

Handwoven by Kayapo artisans in Brazil using buriti palm fibers gathered from the Amazon, the Mantiteka Basket reflects generations of weaving knowledge rooted in utility, material understanding, and cultural tradition.

Its tall cylindrical form and graphic black and white patterning give the piece a quietly architectural presence. Lightweight yet durable, it works beautifully for storing textiles, objects, or everyday essentials while bringing texture and craftsmanship into a space.

Each basket is woven by hand, resulting in subtle variations in shape, tension, and pattern that make every piece unique. Both functional and sculptural, it stands as a contemporary expression of Indigenous Brazilian artistry.
