Small Cerro Woven Container

The Small Cerro Container is a sculptural piece that explores the use of Jipijapa, a natural fibre that is native to Campeche, Mexico, and used in the construction of objects used in daily life since pre-Hispanic times. The tradition of weaving textiles from the fibres of the Jipijapa Palm in the Yucatan Peninsula has been passed down through centuries from artisan to artisan, and the traditional weaving techniques continue to be practiced by expert artisans until today.

This piece is handwoven in Pemba and Grenada in the Yucatan Peninsula, using natural Jipijapa fibres in ecru and blue.

The Small Cerro Woven Container measures 11cm in diameter and 43.8cm in height and is available in two sizes.

The limited edition pieces were sourced by Gerbase. exclusively for FOUND. a category of objects curated out of form and function and for life.
