SKU# 8407240

“Forest Gold” is the beautiful sheen of hard tagua nut, carved into innovative design, and dyed warm autumnal tones of rust, red and gold.

Also known as “vegetable ivory,” tagua is produced by a palm-like tree in South America. The nuts fall to the ground when mature, thus harvesting does not damage the trees. Tagua nut’s grain is close and very hard, resembling the finest ivory. Artisans carve each nut individually into the desired form. Cultural tradition and forest preservation combine in the use of this renewable resource.
  • Tagua nut, string
  • 18D inches
  • Made in Ecuador
