In this new and revised fourth edition of “Darien Rainforest Basketry,” Margo Callaghan, Ph.D., describes the techniques of traditional basketry and how the Wounaan and Embera Indians have created some of the finest contemporary baskets in the world by using natural materials and dyes from the Darien Rainforest, the second largest rainforest in the Americas.
With many new color photographs, Darien Rainforest Basketry describes the Indians and their unique rainforest culture and includes detailed photographs of how the baskets are made and the natural materials and dyes that are used. The skilled Wounaan and Embera Indians are noted for their very fine Hosig di, coil construction baskets made with fibers from chunga, the black palm tree, as well as for their woven utilitarian baskets. Numerous color photographs illustrate the various types of baskets as well as the lifestyle of the Wounaan and Embera Indians in the Darien Rainforest of Panama.
