Woven hot pad (trivet) and center piece with orange ring and white center (TP042)
This hot pad and center piece was designed by a Bora native artisan from the village of Brillo Nuevo on the Ampiyacu River. It features an elegant off-white chambira palm fiber center with an outer orange ring colored with the natural plant dye made from achiote (annatto) seeds.
