About this item: Hammock Artisans of Ceará develop the traditional shape of a hammock into an inviting swing hanging from a eucalyptus wood rod. Woven of sturdy cotton and finished by hand, the bright yellow swing evokes the sunshine of Salvador. Cotton ropes for hanging accompany the piece. - Hanging accessories included - Hand-crafted item -- color, size and/or motif may vary slightly - Holds up to 200 lbs. About our Artist: Antonio Jose, from Hammock Artisans of Ceara, has been making hammocks for over 20 years. This now allows him to offer work to over 100 women from the area. The hammock's main body is woven on a loom, and then it is distributed among groups of women to finish. They usually work from home so they may continue looking after their children. Many of the women have taught their techniques to their daughters and granddaughters, thus ensuring the hammock-making tradition is kept alive.
