Cocobolo Carvings & Woven Traditional Dolls: Stories in Form
These figures don’t just stand—they embody.
Hand-carved from rich cocobolo wood and handwoven from palm fibers, these creations carry ancestral voices. Traditional dolls honor Ticina tribal heritage, while cocobolo carvings channel rainforest life into enduring form. Each figure is a bridge: past to present, material to spirit, art to story.
Ask Away... We LOVE Talking Woven Art
Woven and carved figures are handmade works of art created by indigenous artisans using traditional techniques. Some are woven from fine palm fibers, while others are carved from wood. Each figure carries cultural meaning and is designed as a one-of-a-kind object, admired as collectible art and sculptural décor.
These figures combine storytelling with craftsmanship. Collectors and interior designers value them as rare statement pieces that connect modern spaces to cultural heritage. Each figure is unique, making it both a personal treasure and a museum-quality collectible.
Woven figures are created with palm fibers dyed in natural pigments from seeds, roots, and leaves. Carved figures are made from sustainably sourced woods, sometimes accented with natural pigments or fibers. Every material is responsibly gathered and worked by hand.
Depending on size and detail, artisans may spend days to weeks shaping, weaving, or carving a single figure. The process requires patience and deep knowledge of both materials and tradition.
Yes. Each figure is made from natural, renewable materials. Purchases provide direct income to artisan communities, helping sustain both livelihoods and cultural traditions.
Display them as sculptural accents, gallery pieces, or conversation objects in interiors. Keep them away from direct sunlight and moisture. Dust gently with a soft brush or cloth to preserve their detail and finish.
Many figures reflect spirits, ancestors, or symbolic elements of daily life. Some woven figures tell stories through form and color, while carved figures often embody cultural myths or protective symbols. Each piece carries meaning beyond its form.
Authentic woven and carved figures are available through RFB Woven Art, sourced directly from artisan communities and curated as collectible woven art and sculptural décor for discerning collectors and interior designers.
