African Wood Salad Servers with Dotted Batik Handles – Kenya
These all-natural salad servers are carved from olive wood, a sustainable tree in East Africa known for its rich grain. The server handles are made from cow bone that has been sanitized, polished, and dyed with a polka dot pattern.
Each server measures 12″L x 3.5″W x 0.6″T. Due to the handcrafted nature of this item, slight variation may occur.
About the Artisans:
We work with representatives of Kamba artists in Kenya to obtain these hand-carved works of beauty derived from the olive wood tree. The artisans benefit greatly from the sale of their works, with marked improvements being seen for the individual, their families, the community.

The sculptures can be displayed inside or outside of the home, with the metal developing a lovely patina with exposure to the elements.
Measures 84.5″ tall (approximately 7 feet) x 40″ long x 16″ wide.
This oversized sculpture ships on a pallet, and extra shipping fees are required. Please scroll down for more shipping information.
2 of the giraffe’s feet have metal loops for anchoring this sculpture safely in place. Anchoring hardware not included.
About the Artisans:
Artisans at the Tonderai Metal Works in Zimbabwe use recycled materials and discarded oil drums to create stunning works of art and feature one-of-a-kind detailing.
About Shipping:
Shipping for oil drum sculptures requires a pallet and starts at $300. To the East Coast, we have seen costs as high as $400-$650, but they vary throughout the year.
After your purchase, we will work with a freight company to determine the exact shipping cost for the pallet to your location, from our warehouse in Oregon. We will contact you via email about the additional shipping fees. This process means you won’t pay any more than the exact cost of the shipment.
We can also create a shipping quote for you before you place your order! Please email us at info@swahilimodern.com with your full shipping address to get started.
