Handmade Woven Plates
These plates weren’t made for food—they were made to stun.
Handwoven by Indigenous artists in Panama and Colombia, each one combines tight coil work with symbolic patterns meant for ceremony and display. Hang them solo or in a wall cluster—either way, they bring depth, geometry, and story to any room.
Ask Away... We LOVE Talking Woven Art
These woven plates are handwoven by the Wounaan people of Colombia using the fine inner fibers of the Werregue palm. Each plate is a flat, sculptural form that highlights intricate geometric or natural patterns. They are one-of-a-kind, collectible art pieces often displayed as wall décor or centerpieces.
Their rarity, precision, and cultural depth make them highly sought after. Collectors, museums, and interior designers value them as statement pieces, admired for both their craftsmanship and their ability to transform a space into an artful interior.
Each plate is woven from Werregue palm fibers, shredded into fine strands. Artisans dye these fibers with natural pigments from seeds, roots, and fruits. Many woven plates also incorporate copper wire, creating a striking contrast that blends tradition with contemporary design.
Depending on the size and detail, a woven plate can take several months or even more than a year to complete. The fine weave demands patience and skill, resulting in museum-quality woven art.
Yes. Materials are responsibly gathered from the rainforest, and each purchase directly supports Wounaan artisans and their communities. Buying these pieces sustains both cultural heritage and rainforest traditions.
The patterns reflect pre-Colombian body painting and pottery motifs, as well as rainforest plants and animals. Each woven plate is not only decorative but also a visual record of cultural memory.
