Colored Luul

patterns by Anywaa women artisans in Gambella, Ethiopia.

Every Luul provides fair wages, honors traditional weaving

knowledge, and helps sustain families and communities.

● In Anywaa tradition, the Luul is an essential winnowing basket

used to gently toss and separate grains like wheat or corn from

the chaff—an important step before grinding the flour for Kwon,

the beloved corn-flour porridge served with rich stews.

● Today, these vibrantly decorated Luul have become cherished

decorative pieces that bring authentic Ethiopian heritage into

modern homes. Hang one on the wall as striking art, or place it

on a table or shelf to hold fruit, bread, or simply to celebrate its

timeless beauty.
