Spanish term or phrase: guapas de bambú
THis is from a text about the origins of Op Art in Venezuela in indigenous culture:

Si bien las investigaciones cinéticas de Soto están en línea con los desarrollos del arte abstracto internacional, determinados aspectos de la cultura local venezolana también parecen haber marcado la orientación óptica de sus intereses artísticos. Efectos de vibración y sensación de movimiento son compartidos por las piezas de Soto y las guapas de bambú producidas por los indígenas de la cuenca del Orinoco.

This tirite fiber tray with geometric rhombus designs was handwoven by Panare men of the Venezuelan Amazon. Basketry is often considered a functional art due to the duality of baskets as both cultural artifacts and functional quotidian objects. Due to this duality, baskets can be found in both museum displays and daily use, depending on the location and implementation of the owners. These pieces are emblematic of the shared function that the craft enjoys: produced for utilitarian purposes, they are also valuable products of a fascinating culture.
