Bring a little of Panama's rainforest home with this basket plate in cream with black sunburst rays, woven by hand from chunga palm. Its cream face is ringed with black rays pointing inward, and a fan of black lines sweeps from the center. It makes a thoughtful gift for anyone who loves handmade art and the rainforest. Set it on a plate stand, a shelf or a tabletop where its colors can be seen.

Plates like this one are woven by Wounaan and Emberá women in the Darién rainforest of Panama, a skill handed down from mothers and grandmothers to daughters. Fine strands of chunga palm, colored with natural dyes from rainforest plants and earth, are coiled tightly around a core of naguala fiber, stitch by stitch, from a small knot at the center out to the rim. Every plate is woven entirely by hand, so each one is truly one of a kind.
