Twisted Zebra Salad Servers, Kenya

These beautiful salad servers are hand carved by talented artisans in a fair trade cooperative in Kenya.  They are crafted out of one piece of renewable muhugu wood using only simple, rudimentary tools.  An adorable painted zebra head makes these fun and unique.

Measures approximately 12" long.

Please note that due to the handmade nature of this product paint colors and wood grain may vary.  See photos for examples.

ABOUT THE ARTISANS

These salad servers are handmade in a fair trade cooperative in Kenya comprised of numerous families and villagers who are involved in all aspects of production.  Children are taught the carving skills from a young age, so this tradition has been passed down from generation to generation.  Others in the community paint the products. All are paid fair wage and receive business training skills.

An integral part of the organization's function is to educate the craftspeople on the need for reforestation to enable the products to be available for years to come and offer a sustainable income for generations to come.
