Chumil Basket - Purple

Our artisan partners named this basket "Chumil," the Kaqchikel word for "star." Skillfully woven from longleaf pine needles, pajón (a native grass in Guatemala), and raffia, with a central star design rendered in shades of green or purple, this basket is beautiful for display but also entirely functional.

• Pine needles, pajón and raffia
• 10" diameter exclusive of handles, 14" including handles
