Product details

Description

A hand-carved zebra that perches on the edge of a shelf, stack of books, or mantel — designed with a clever three-inch notch that lets it sit anywhere, one leg dangling naturally as it loses itself in a story. You can trace the deliberate marks of the chisel along its curved neck, and each stripe is hand-painted, ensuring no two sculptures share the exact same pattern.

Carved by artisans of the Kamba Tribe in Machakos, Kenya, who continue a generational tradition of wood carving using simple, rudimentary tools. Sourced through Global Crafts, a Fair Trade Federation verified partner.

Approx. 11" H × 4.5" D · 3" shelf notch · Hand-carved wood · Hand-painted · Fair Trade certified
