Gorgeous on it’s own or as a wonderful way to serve nibbles to your guests or beautifully store your jewellery at the end of the day.

Shades of black, gold and white meld together with warmer shades of brown to create an singularly individual product whose smooth yet tactile surface is a pleasure to touch.  These super fine, elegant bowls are handmade in Uganda from the horn of Ankole cows which are bred for consumption in Uganda. Although the horns are considered a waste product, the beauty of Ankole cow horns make them a beautiful high end natural material. 

These natural horn bowls were hand carved on a lathe, and then shaped and moulded at high temperatures to fit perfectly in your hand. They were meticulously sanded, polished to bring out the beauty of what nature had already so artfully created.

Each bowl is individually hand-crafted by an artisan in a fair trade environment. Imperfections should be expected and simply add to the charm of your handmade good.
