These globally-inspired set of three votive candles are hand-painted by South African artisans and arrives in a recycled cardboard gift box. Each candle is hand-poured and then individually hand-painted. 

Each design name is derived from a special African word that is brought to life through the color and patterns which reflect the culture and influences of South Africa. Blue, mint, and aqua tones bring in a soothing coastal vibe. Each candle is 2.75 inches tall by 2 inches in diameter. Unscented. 

In the Bantu language of East Africa, "Samaki" means fish. This maritime design was created during a beach walk on Cape Agulhas, the southernmost point of Africa, where the Atlantic and Indian Oceans meet.
