Wooden Carved Animal - Elephant

$12.00 USD
  • Small (8 cms)
  • Medium (12 cms)

Adorable and minimalistic, these handcrafted wood elephants are made by the artisans from the Luangwa Artisan Collective. Using locally sourced mukwa wood, these cute wooden trinkets make for the perfect decoration in any elephant lovers home. 

The artisans from Luangwa Artisan Collective are independent artisans that work out from Tribal Textiles, and all sale proceeds go directly to them and their families. We train those local artists in product development and business skills such as merchandising, accounting and pricing. We work with them to create beautiful products and give them access to local and international wholesale markets. We built for them an all-weather work and market place on Tribal Textiles ground, where they can sell to visitors.

CARE
  • Sold individually
  • Handmade using 100% local mukwa wood
  • Each piece may vary slightly due to its handcrafted nature
  • Ethically handcrafted in South Luangwa, Zambia
