Woven Kauna Grass Flower Basket

This woven kauna grass flower basket has its origins in traditional Manipuri art. Manipur artisans' have taken it upon themselves to introduce the beauty of the hills of Manipur to the world through their art. So, this offering mirrors its city of origin perfectly. Starting with its simple build by weaving kauna strips together to its overall home-grown vibe, the offering represents a peaceful society far from the noise of the busy world. The kauna grass used to build this offering is a local crop grown in the wetlands of Manipur, extensively used in local weaving for storage accessories and home furnishings. The kauna grass is first cultivated by a framer until they reach a good height. Once cut, the grass has to be left to dry completely. Any moisture present in the grass might result in your offering growing mould. The dried grass is, then, skilfully woven into this offering before you.
