Item Description
SAN BUSHMAN COLLECTION
SB-05: Tamboti Wood Bracelet
Material: Tamboti wood, ostrich eggshell
Sizes vary from 9" to 10" in length.
Bracelets are fashionable for both men and woman. Each piece of jewelry is one-of-a-kind. These pieces are constructed from wooden beads from the Tamboti tree. Endemic to Southern Africa, wood from the Tamboti tree omits a musky sweet scent, similar to a cedar. Think cedar chest or closet.
Item Special Note
Purchasing Namibian craft jewelry not only provides sustainable income and an alternative livelihood for the people of Namibia, but also supports the continuation of traditional craft-making practices.
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.
