Description

Artists from Kenya use a batik dyeing method to convert discarded cattle bones into beautiful adornments.  Each bone is hand-carved using traditional African methods, and decorative brass swirls are attached to the bone.


The carved bone is strung together using durable elastic for easy and comfortable wearing.


This unique work of art comes from a company called Uno Alla Volta, meaning "One At A Time."
