In Haiti, the traditional art of converting oil drums into wall sculptures is a true mark of both man's imagination and his resourcefulness in the face of dire economic circumstances. The artisans are folk artists in the classic sense. They use materials around them in new and inventive ways to create wonderful pieces of art. At the same time they are able to create better lives for themselves and their families through trade. By purchasing this handcrafted item, you can be absolutely sure that the artist who made it has been well-compensated. We commend your support of socially aware and environmentally sound trade practices. Made from recycled metal petroleum drums.

Handmade in Haiti, individually created, no two items are the same. When displaying outdoors, the varnish will wear away over time and the sculpture will begin to rust naturally. You can maintain the original look by spraying it with a clear enamel every couple of years.

We want the artisans who create these beautiful metal sculptures to have the means to improve the standard of living of their families and communities.
