Not typically a fan of metal work, However these oil can endangered species are simply stunning. It is a Christmas present for my father in law. He is passionate about animals especially endangered ones and art, we have sponsored Rhino’s and are members of IFAW. he will LOVE this. Warthog next I think. Thank you clever artisans. I hope all the gifts i give this year can be fair trade.

My son was studying Kenya. We bought this for him and he loved it. The organic cotton is so soft. He was able to share the Kenya Knitters story with his class. He calls it Kenya green tail.

Having traveled to Tanzania and gone on safari yearly since 2000, the tree symbolizes the baobab trees which dot the Serengeti plains. The trees provide shelter and sustenance for many native creatures.

LOVE it! This rainbow basket is my first Swahili Modern purchase, but it will not be my last! The basket is extremely sturdy and much more special in person! I like to envision the hands that made it! I came back to the site to order a larger tangerine one!! The shipping was fast and the basket was packaged very well. SURPRISE!!! I found an elephant magnet inside my package! What a nice little extra! Thank you!💗

I cannot believe how beautiful this menorah is! My friend collects them. We were in Tanzania this summer and I could not find one. This is the PERFECT gift for her Hanukkah this year. This piece of art is a very good size, colorful, and so well made. It was packed ever so careful. I even received a little purple hippo and a thank you gift :) Absolutely a gorgeous piece of ART! Thank you so much

undefined review of Recycled Metal Hippo Planter image 1 out of 1
Gail K.
The hippo planter was a Christmas gift for our daughter and her family, in commemoration of all the hippos we saw together last summer in Kenya. She promptly adapted it as a fruit bowl, and sent this photo. We all love the hippos, and have been singing “I want a hippopotamus for Christmas” off key for days!

Lora Z.
This basket is actually more beautiful in real life. Love it! This is large enough for a laundry basket for a family of five. I actually bought an even larger one than this and it is a bit too large. This size is perfect for laundry. Plus, it makes doing laundry a more beautiful experience!

Ordered seven different statues so the review will be the same for each as they're all wonderful. All of them arrived in a timely manner and were delivered well packaged. I ordered this one as a gift and am quite certain I will be ordering more lost was bronze sculptures later. I strongly advise you get them when you can as they sometimes run out of stock on some pieces. Just saying.

A laundry basket that is art work. Weave is tight, flexible, and soft so it won’t harm clothes. Easy to carry to laundry room. Handles are durable nylon cord and comfortable. A laundry basket that is legitimate artwork!

She is perfect. I thought about getting the male but felt he was not different enough from the female. Maybe leaving the bowl off his head.

I love this bag!! Especially that you fold down the bag and create a small flat pouch. Takes up so little space. I lost my first one and had to order another. The patchwork zip pouch/bottom of bag is beautiful, nice upgrade from the original model. I get compliments whenever I use it.

This is a beautifully crafted basket, excellent design with great lines and authentic, natural materials. We used it as a blessing basket for a naming party of a special baby in our lives - it was perfect.

This particular one is like getting two in that is more than one character portrayed. Being the horrible person I am, I had originally intended to give as a gift but, upon seeing it, decided to keep it for myself.
