The Story Behind the Art: Women in the villages in Kenya, near Kitui, are educated and trained on the handmade craft of recycling the dried fiber of banana plants, which would normally be discarded. They use their talents to transform the banana fiber into new, eco-friendly art forms. First, the banana fiber is dried, and then a light varnish is applied. The varnish on the banana fiber, with its many shades of brown, resembles textured tortoise shell. Once the process is complete, the artisans cut the fiber into strips to make one-of-a-kind goods.Handmade in KenyaDimensions: Measures approximately 3.5 to 4 inches long eachGiven the handmade nature of this product please allow for minor variations.This Santa on a bicycle ornament comes with a a loop for hanging.
