The redeiras of A Guarda, women net makers in charge of making fishing nets, are incorporated into the process. With their knowledge and tools, they weave around each piece a traditional fishing knot, symbolizing the importance of collaborative work between women. Finally, each piece is contained in a custom-made wooden box, which permits the transportation and exhibition of the awards.
