Handcrafted Items

Item Description

This rolling pin from SERRV was crafted with gorgeous white Amara marble carved and polished to perfection, and accented with mango wood handles. The rolling pin is 18 inches long and 2.5 inches in diameter. This tool should be hand-washed to retain its beauty.

Since 1976, SERRV International has partnered with disadvantaged artisans in Delhi, providing a long-term trading partnership and interest-free advance payment for our orders. Through sales of their products, artisans receive fair wages, shared profits, savings plans, interest-free loans, health programs, technical courses for women to upgrade their skills, adult literacy programs, and scholarships to help children avoid child labor and stay in school.
