Awal Mar Tii - Medium

colorful beads by Anywaa women artisans in Gambella,

Ethiopia. Every piece provides fair wages, preserves traditional

beading techniques, and directly empowers the women and

families who make them.

● In Anywaa culture, the “Awal Mar Tii” (meaning “beaded gourd

bowl”) is the most festive version of the traditional serving bowl

used for Kwon — a beloved corn-flour porridge enjoyed with

flavorful stews and sauces. A beautifully beaded Awal like this

is brought out to honor special guests and celebrate important

occasions.

● Today it remains fully functional for serving food, yet its stunning

design also makes it a striking decorative accent in modern

homes — perfect for displaying faux flowers, holding keys, or

presenting fresh fruit on the table.
