ABOUT THIS PRODUCT
This handcrafted peace symbol transforms discarded steel oil drums into meaningful wall art through the masterful hands of Haitian artisans. Measuring 12 inches square, this Fair Trade Federation-certified piece features delicate leaves and birds that dance around the iconic peace symbol, creating a meditation on harmony and renewal.
Each piece emerges from the Village Artistique de Noailles in Croix-des-Bouquets, where skilled craftspeople practice a folk art tradition dating back to the mid-20th century. The steel receives a protective gloss varnish that preserves both the intricate details and the story of transformation from waste to wonder.
As with all authentic handmade metal art, subtle variations make each piece uniquely yours. This is conscious collecting at its most meaningful, where ancient techniques meet contemporary spaces with purpose and poetry.

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.
