Wicker basket with thick rim

Natural product.  In Santería (Regla de Ocha), wicker baskets are essential elements for the presentation, transport, and offering of ritual items to the Orishas. Their use is linked to the tradition of presenting offerings in natural and environmentally friendly materials.

• Offerings to the Orishas (Addimú): They are used to hold fruits, prepared foods, sweets, and other foods offered to the Orishas, being very common for Olokun and Babalú Ayé.
• Presentation of Addimú: They serve to organize and present large offerings or multiple items before the altar, giving them a respectful and traditional aesthetic.
• Transport of Ritual Materials: They are ideal for carrying offerings to the woods, the river, or the sea during initiation rites or sacrifices, due to their durability and lightness.
• Use in Awán (Babalú Ayé): Specifically, in Awán ceremonies (mass prayer or cleansing), wicker baskets are used to contain the different addimú (grains, fruits, bread) that will later be distributed or taken to their final destination.
