Santa Riding an Elephant Banana Fiber Figurine

This stunning banana fiber sculpture is cute and sophisticated.  Santa riding on the back makes a whimsical and fun Christmas decoration!  Hand-crafted from banana fiber, this is a durable statement piece.   The animal is handcrafted from banana fiber, harvested from the leaves of banana trees in Kenya.  It is a beautiful and sustainable material that has a tortoise shell finish.  

Each purchase helps preserve the tradition of Kenyan banana fiber art. Women in the villages in Kenya, near Kitui, are generationally educated and trained on the handmade craft of recycling the dried fiber of banana plants, which would normally be discarded.

Because this is a handcrafted item, each will vary slightly.
