ABOUT THIS PRODUCT
The Amaryllis Plateau represents the artistry of Rwandan craftspeople, where traditional techniques meet contemporary design. Each piece begins with locally sourced sisal strands, carefully wrapped around bunches of sweetgrass in a meditative process passed down through generations.
Hand-dyed in rich earth tones of orange, burgundy, grey, and black, every plateau tells its own story through subtle variations in color and texture. The 12-inch width and thoughtful 3-inch depth create the perfect proportions for displaying fruit, treasured objects, or simply adding sculptural beauty to your space.
More than decor, this piece carries the spirit of conscious craft. Each purchase directly supports women artisans and education programs in their communities, creating ripples of positive impact that extend far beyond your home.
