ABOUT THIS PRODUCT
Graceful birds take flight from a delicate globe of flowering vines in this stunning Haitian metal wall art. Handcrafted by skilled artisans in the Village Artistique de Noailles, this 23-inch square masterpiece transforms recycled steel oil drums into ornate decorative art through an ancient folk tradition dating back to the mid-20th century.
Each piece is individually shaped and hammered by hand, then coated with protective gloss varnish for lasting beauty.

As a handmade work of art, slight variations add unique character and value to each piece.
This Fair Trade Federation-certified artwork brings the rich artistic heritage of Haiti into your home while supporting the talented craftspeople who create it. The timeless nature motif and substantial size make it a striking focal point for any wall that celebrates both artistry and conscious living.

In the heart of Haiti, where creativity flows like morning sunlight, skilled artisans transform the forgotten into the extraordinary. Working from the Village Artistique de Noailles, these craftspeople carry forward a folk art tradition that began in the mid-20th century, when discarded steel oil drums first whispered their potential for beauty.
With patient hands and practiced eyes, each artisan cuts, shapes, and hammers recycled steel into intricate sculptures that speak of heritage and hope. Their workshop hums with the rhythm of creation, where every strike of the hammer carries generations of metalworking wisdom passed from teacher to student.
This is conscious craft at its finest, where sustainable materials meet timeless technique, and where each finished piece carries not just artistic vision, but the dignity of fair wages and community support that ripples through families and generations.
