    Story Behind the Art:

    Esther Kariuki is an independent artisan who, in her area of Kenya, near Kitui, has organized and trained women in her village to use the dried fiber of the banana plant, which would normally be discarded. The banana fiber is first dried, and then a light varnish applied. Once this process is complete craftspeople cut the fiber into thin strips to make items, including boxes, Bao Bab trees and mobiles.

Interesting and beautifully made!

mommd from PA, Nov 13, 2009

This nativity set is intiricately made with simple materials. I already bought 2. One for me and another as a gift. Not one set is alike since these are individually hand-made (They do have the same number of pieces.). Its definitely a great conversation piece!

A Rare Find

newportianfamily Aug 26, 2009

This item is really great. It is amazing that natural products like wood and banana fibers were used to make this. The items are well made and extremely cute. Five stars to the craftswoman Esther.
