Story Behind the Art:
Working with more than 100 individual carvers in Machakos, Kenya, Jedando
Modern Handicrafts markets products primarily made of wood and bone worldwide. Carving is a tradition in Kenya with children learning the craft from their parents. Carved by hand using only rudimentary hand tools, olive wood bowls, salad serving sets, and animal-shaped napkin rings take shape from pieces of olive wood, mahogany, and mpingo, or 'African Ebony.' An integral part of the organization's function is to educate the craftspeople on the need for reforestation to enable the products to be available for years to come and offer a sustainable income for generations.

These items are unique and beautifully made. Only one small issue. Two of the six have slightly smaller holes for the napkins to fit through than the others. This is not going to be a major issues as long as we don't choose to use the very large linen napkins.

African Napkin rings

While in Africa I purchased some animal napkin rings. The hole for the napkin is quite small. So when I saw the brightly colored African animals with the large napkin hole I ordered them. They came very quickly. The workmanship is excellent with beautifully carved wood. I liked that there are six different animal rings. Only one of them is hard to figure out which animal it is! I am pleased with this product and would recommend it.
