Necklace Capim Dourado

$35
This itens are made and hadcrafted in Jalapão, in the Afro-Brazilian community of Mumbuca in the municipality of Mateiros. Indigenous people, probably from the Xerente ethnic group, taught the art to local inhabitants when passing through the region around the 1930s. The handicrafts are made of coils of GOLDEN GRASS / CAPIM DOURADO, sewn tightly together with strips from the Palm's young leaves. For decades the handicrafts were only made by women for household uses and/or sporadic selling. Today, there are MANY local community associations.
