Bring a bit of Africa into your home with an intricately hand-carved gourd.
Traditionally grown and used throughout East Africa, gourds (also known as calabash) are used for storing or carrying water or food. Once dried, they can be hollowed out and carved, painted or stitched by hand.
With its traditional abstract patterns, this will make a gorgeous small plant pot on your coffee table, pen holder on a desk or place for visitors to put their keys by your front door, and will be sure to spark conversation.
Not only beautiful and functional, but supporting a sustainable form of income to artisans in East Africa.
