Handcrafted Kenyan Olive Wood Salad Servers with Geometric Batik Bone Handles – Ukambani Artisan Pair

Description

Authentic Ukambani Craftsmanship

Every set is individually carved by master artisans in Ukambani, Kenya, a region celebrated globally for its heritage in woodworking. Made from wild East African olive wood, these servers feature striking natural grain variations, making every pair a unique piece of functional kitchen art.

Minimalist Geometric Batik Bone Detail

The base of each handle is wrapped in ethically sourced, upcycled cow bone, finished in a clean white tone and decorated with a subtle black geometric pattern (stacked chevrons/triangles with center dots). Hand-dyed using traditional African wax-resist batik methods, the design adds a modern, boho-chic accent to organic wood.
