Description
Women artisans in Eswatini, the Southern African nation formerly known as Swaziland, use recycled paper pulp to create this gleaming black and gold home accent. Lightweight, with a rustic hand-finished edge, and glowing golden interior, it reflects light beautifully and warms up any tablescape. Eco varnish coating adds durability and water resistance.
Museum Story
The National Museum of African Art began as a private educational institution in 1964 to promote cross-cultural understanding in the social sciences and arts. Founded by Warren M. Robbins, it was known as the Museum of African Art and located on Capitol Hill in a townhouse that had been the home of Frederick Douglass, the African American abolitionist and statesman. In 1979 the museum became part of the Smithsonian Institution, the world's largest museum and research complex dedicated to the increase and diffusion of knowledge.
