Handwoven Bolga art basket in elephant grass from Bolgatanga, Ghana.

Katayeli-tia — the Gurune name for both the snail and the conch shell — describes the spiral itself, not the creature. The form is an ode to that spiral. To curve, to symmetry, to the quiet feminine geometry the natural world has been weaving long before we picked it up.

Created by Perpetual "Pepe" Adagaam, whose exquisite spiral design captivates with multi-dimensional beauty. A sculptural object for the home — the kind of piece that holds the eye in an entrance, anchors a corner, or sits where light catches the weave at every angle.

Densely woven, generously proportioned. Each finish the discipline of weavers who don't compromise.

Not a basket for everyday use.

A considered object — for collectors, for designers, for buyers who recognise the difference between something made and something made with intention.

In a market crowded with mass-produced shine, the Katayeli-tia offers something rarer.

Conch Shells are believed to be bringers of good luck and good fortune. They symbolize the feminine and all blessings associated with that aspect. Birth, regeneration, marriage and fertility are all said to be strengthened by this shell.
