Vintage basket hand made by the Yanomami Indians from the Amazon River Basin, Brazil. The basket is beautifully and tightly woven, hand painted with charcoal pigment. The basket is in excellent condition, with no breaks or fraying.
This was purchased in the 1980s in Brazil but may be older (mid 20th century). The Yanomami people, who live in the rain forests in Brazil and Venezuela, are the largest tribe in Brazil that is still relatively isolated. This was purchased in a government-run store in Sao Paulo established to benefit Brazilian artisans and indigenous people.
