About This Product

This product is hand-chiseled out of recycled steel oil drums by Haitian artisans using techniques first developed by Georges Liautaud in the late 1950s when he chalked out his first design on a flattened steel oil drum and then cut it out by hand with a mallet and chisel. As each piece is handmade, their final dimensions and finish may vary slightly.

Features

Upcycling steel oil drums to beautiful art as opposed to them going into landfills
High quality art form that has only been successful in Haiti
These items are sure to become collectible as the oil industry replaces steel oil drums with plastic ones

I love my Haitian decorative pieces. I used wire to create a hanger and hung them on my double front doors.

I love birds and sit with them outside through all the warm months. This was just what I was looking for to place above my mirror in my bedroom to remind me of my beautiful little friends during the colder months!!
