Sisal Angel Ornament
Regular price
$12.00
This unique Angel ornament is handcrafted in Kenya using all-natural sisal and banana fiber. It stands at approximately 9 inches tall and can easily be hung with the loop at the top. The materials used are recycled and eco-friendly, as the women in the nearby villages of Kitui use their skills to transform discarded banana plants into beautiful art pieces.
The process includes drying the fiber and applying a varnish, resulting in a textured tortoise shell appearance. The artisans then cut the fiber into strips and create one-of-a-kind goods. Sisal, known for its strength and sustainability, is a vegetable fiber that can be made into various textiles and materials.
