With its cascading lavender blossoms, the jacaranda tree is a spectacular sight throughout southern Africa. Carvers from Zimbabwe's Ndbele tribe favor the sustainably harvested wood as a medium for their traditional woodworking skills. Ndbele artisans in Harare transform a length of the jacaranda's trunk into this graceful pair of giraffes. The chisel marks that create the ground texture remain as evidence of the artist's hand. The animals' markings and serene expressions are created by singeing the wood with a hot iron. Handmade in Zimbabwe. 6''W x 12''H x 6''D.
