Handmade by a community of Mayan women in Guatemala, the pine needle baskets represent an ancient craft + beauty of a people. They hold a special place in our hearts since they have been collected by our family for generations. Mayan Hands is a fair trade company that seeks to support these women + their communities. This particular tray looks beautiful as a centerpiece, or works as a great server.
Gift idea - this tray makes a special wedding or housewarming gift!
Mayan Hands is a fair trade nonprofit organization dedicated to providing economic and educational opportunities to Mayan women and girls so that they can build sustainable futures for themselves, their families and communities, as they continue to live within the culture they cherish. In addition to paying fair wages for their work, programs that support our artisan partners in realizing their potential as artists, businesswomen, and leaders in their communities help them create lasting change at home, and allow the women to share their creativity and culture with the global community.
