Bring a little of Panama's rainforest home with this Whirling Spiral basket plate in black, brown and cream spirals, woven by hand from chunga palm. Its black, brown and cream bands twist outward from the middle like a pinwheel caught in motion. It makes a thoughtful gift for anyone who loves handmade art and the rainforest. It has a small hanger on the back, ready for the wall.

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.
