About the Item
20th Century Handwoven Yekuana Guapa Basket with Intricate Geometric Patterns
This exceptional 20th-century Yekuana Guapa basket showcases the masterful artistry and mathematical precision for which Yekuana weavers are renowned. Measuring 14.7 inches in diameter and 4 inches in height, the basket features three distinct woven patterns seamlessly combined into one harmonious design. The interior reveals an intricate geometric motif of interlocking forms, while the exterior sides display a simpler yet elegant repeating pattern. The base presents another complex circular design, creating an exquisite example of Yekuana symmetry and balance.
The Yekuana people, indigenous to the Upper Orinoco region of Venezuela and southern Guyana, have a long tradition of creating highly sophisticated baskets known as Guapas. These are typically woven from natural palm fibers and dyed with plant-based pigments. Beyond their aesthetic beauty, Guapa baskets serve both ceremonial and utilitarian purposes, used to store and carry food, personal items, and ritual objects. Each pattern often holds symbolic meaning, reflecting the Yekuana worldview and deep connection to nature, water, and community life.
This basket exemplifies the artistry, patience, and precision required in traditional Yekuana weaving. Its sturdy construction, vibrant geometry, and cultural significance make it a rare and desirable piece for collectors of tribal, ethnographic, or modern decorative arts. Whether displayed as a wall piece or centerpiece, it adds authenticity, texture, and timeless beauty to any interior.
