ABOUT BATIK BONE:

"Batik Bone Beads are predominantly the products of Ghanaian and Kenyan tribes-people, however the process itself is said to date back to 4th Century B.C.E Egypt. Originally a means to apply pattern to cloth, the process was adopted within African tribes to apply stunning, contrasting designs to beads and accessories – often symbolic of regal, or higher social status...

Traditionally, Batik Bone Beads are made from the bone of agricultural animals such as cow or camel. Some are bleached using a simple dye and heat process, whereas others are allowed to darken with age prior to designs being applied. Designs would be carved into the bone using a sharp implement such as a craft knife or stone. Exceptional craftsmen would create the design during the wax-resistance process, painting on swirl or circular motifs with clear beeswax." ~ The Bead Chest

ABOUT PALM WOOD:

Coconut Palm trunks are generally wasted by-products once the coconut tree has finished producing fruit in its lifetime. Recently, people have begun to explore the different possible uses of this alternative supply of timber.

The commercialization of the Coconut Palm timber industry has produced products ranging from flooring to posts to furniture which perform as equally good or better than common traditional woods used today.

Coconut Palm wood is an ecologically-sound source of timber that also helps reduce the usage of endangered hardwoods.
