This is special because...
Transforming bone and horn into objects of use is a time-honored African tradition. The raw material comes from the Ankole cows, native to Africa and raised for food. The horn, which can weigh 1600 pounds and span 8', is boiled until malleable and shaped into handsome wares like this one.
Handmade in Kenya in partnership with the Anganza Community Project in Nairobi's Kibera Slum, which trains jewelry-making skills and provides income generation for disadvantaged women.
