beautiful jar

Inspired by the art of the African Bambara people, Ghana's Emmanuel Austin Ankude creates this beautiful and striking decorative jar. The jar is hand-carved from sese wood and rubbed with clay for a rustic finish. The lid features a sculpture of two mythic animals, characteristic of Bambara designs.

Jaifah Aksornsri of Thailand creates this beautiful decorative jar that adds a lovely Thai accent to home decor. Hand woven bamboo is used, which is covered in clay and painted in a rich dark green color with a beautiful, trumpeting elephant design on all sides, as well as on the lid. Woven bamboo and cotton rope adorn the exterior in a style that is traditional to Thai rice jars of old. The jar sits on a base of native raintree wood. The name Lanna comes from an ancient region in Northern Thailand that was known as the "Kingdom of a Million Rice Fields."

Relaxing for a moment, a man rests with the water jars he carries over his shoulders. Floral tendrils surround the man with lavish arabesques in a sculpture by Putra Suteja. Keeping her late husband's artisan heritage alive, Eka removes the husk from a coconut shell and polishes the piece to a sheen before carving the images. Beautiful and original, it stands on an albesia wood base.

Please note size and coloring may differ as the artist works with natural coconut shell.
