This Handmade Woven Bangle Bracelet from Colombia 'Radiant Energy' is a colorful and cultural accessory. Crafted by artisans of the Zenú Community, the bangle is handwoven from natural caña flecha fiber in red and white on a royal blue background. The piece, which preserves an ancestral tradition, is a beautiful representation of the community's identity and living tradition.
For centuries, the Zenú people of Colombia have cultivated and woven caña flecha, a native cane fiber integral to their culture and identity. Once used in fishing and building, the fiber evolved into the foundation of the iconic sombrero vueltiao, as well as baskets, bags, and bracelets. Crafting these pieces is a community-wide effort: the cane is dried, split into uniform strands, dyed with natural pigments, and woven into intricate braids, sometimes containing up to twenty-eight fibers. The geometric pintas that adorn each piece carry symbolic meaning, representing clans, plants, animals, and ancestral narratives. Today, the Zenú artisans pass down their knowledge through local schools, blending oral history with traditional techniques to preserve their cultural heritage. Every design honors their land, their stories, and their identity, inviting wearers to carry a piece of Colombia’s living tradition.
Handcrafted in Colombia with caña flecha fiber and PVC. The bracelet has an 8-inch inner circumference and is 0.4 inches wide. Colors may vary slightly.
