Handmade Bone Bar Set – 2 Spoons 1 Animal Fork

Handmade by artisans in Kenya using traditional methods passed down through the generations, these batiked bone serving utinsels are a beautiful accessory to your appetizer trays or bar area. Crafted from ethically-sourced, sanitized animal bone that is hand carved and designed by placing wax on the white bone and dipping the bone a dark brown/black dye, resulting in traditional patterns native to the Kenyan region.

Working with more than 100 individual carvers in Machakos, Kenya, Jedando Modern Handicrafts markets African handicrafts primarily made of wood and bone worldwide. Carving is a tradition in Kenya with the children learning the craft from their parents. Carved by hand using only rudimentary hand tools, olive wood bowls, salad serving sets, and animal-shaped napkin rings take shape from pieces of olive wood, mahogany, and mpingo, or “African Ebony.”
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. While wood carving provides the major income for many in the Machakos area, other craftspeople earn a living by further enhancing the products including painting the napkin rings and carving discarded animal bone for the handles of salad serving sets. Often the bone is “batiked” by placing wax on the white bone and dipping the bone a dark brown/black dye, resulting in patterns African mud cloth designs.
