| Notes: | Lauren Gardiner: Astrocaryum leaf sheath fibres. Usually both fibres (inside coiled core, and outer thin cover) are Astrocaryum standleyanum. Sometimes Mauritiella macroclada (Arecaceae) used for the coiled core, but the outer thin fiber is always A. sta, ndleyanum. Leaflet epidermis plus mesophyll used to make the fibres. Plants used for dying include bija (Bixa orellana L.: Bixaceae) - deep orange color; puchicama (Fridericia chica (Bonpl.) L.G. Lohmann: Bignoniaceae) - either light orange or black color, if the fiber is buried in mud for 48 hours; and cúrcuma (Curcuma longa L.: Zingiberaceae) - yellow color. Other plants are used but the Wounaan prefer not to reveal names or processes involved. A total of nine colors are found in current Wounaan basketry, - natural, red, black, orange, yellow, brown, green, light purple, and a deep, wine-colored red obtained by mixing several dyes (Torres & Avendaño 2009, pers. comm. Rodrigo Bernal 2017). More information in: Garcia 2013, and Bernal 2013. | ||||
