Item Description
SAN BUSHMAN COLLECTION
SB-05: Tamboti Wood Bracelet
Material: Tamboti wood, ostrich eggshell
These pieces are constructed from wooden beads from the wood of the tamboti tree, a tree which is endemic to Southern Africa.
This is a very special handcrafted bracelet which omits the scent of Tamboti Wood which has a musky sweet smell. Similar to a cedar closet. It is both fashionable for men and woman.
The San Bushmen of the Kalahari Desert in Namibia apply their traditional skills to create jewelry, often with natural resources and materials available to them. Largely isolated from colonialism until the last century, San Bushmen women create intricate pieces of jewelry using wild seeds, pieces of tree roots, horns, bone, leather, tortoiseshell and most importantly, beads created from ostrich eggshell.
Item Special Note
Each piece of jewelry is one-of-a-kind. Purchasing Namibian craft jewelry not only provides sustainable income and an alternative livelihood for the people of Namib-ia, but also supports the continuation of traditional craft-making practices.
