Perfect for a Christmas Tree Topper! Handmade from recycled steel drums by Haitian artisans. The angel is large enough to be back-lit with a candle.
Size: 16" inches tall, making a great decorative piece.
When you visit Croix des Bouquets, the area of town known for Haitian metal art in the capital of Port-Au-Prince, you are met with a cacophony of tink, tink, tink as ball peen hammers strike sheets of steel. The sheets are cut from steel drums colored by oil and other liquids the drums held. The process of turning sheets of metal into beautiful wall art is all done by hand, from cutting holes that become edges of trees and Suns, to accenting each lizard with a texture of scales, to painting or lacquering the final design. The artists are proud of their work, signing the pieces on the backside, leaving a raised, reversed signature on the front.
