Woven from Ilala palm leaf, each starts as a square and is coiled into an almost perfect circle. The fine edging is known as “snake's belly” for its serpent-scale pattern, and the soft natural tones come from dyes made with tree bark. Traditionally used to winnow grain, today they make striking, sculptural wall art.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach is handmade and one of a kind, with slight natural variation in size and tone.
