Our mission is to introduce you to unique art treasures handcrafted by the Wounaan and Embera peoples of the Darien Rainforest of Panama. We hope that this web site will help encourage awareness of the rich artistic heritage represented by this world-class collection. Each basket represented in this website is unique, painstakingly created over weeks, months, and sometimes years! Designs are inspired by the animals and plants of the rainforest surrounding these warm-hearted people. We hope you enjoy exploring the informative articles and images about the culture that created this unique and expressive art form.
