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, its 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 paired this with the shell wall décor. Looks great!! It fits nicely in a small space. It was hand made from recycled old steel drums which makes it green!!

These shells are very small, one came with out a hook on the back of it :( I will still hang them in my bathroom, but feel I paid too much for them.
