This beautifully detailed artwork was inspired by the townspeople of Maroantsetra, the home of the artisans who crafted this piece. An inventive collaging technique is used to illustrate the daily activities of residents in a bustling close-knit community. The piece is formed by connecting the collaged townspeople using a gridwork of twisted raffia, giving this piece a truly unique look that's sure to captivate you with its exquisite detail. It is hand-crafted from Madagascar cocoon silk and raffia. Our fair trade partner, Tanana Madagascar works with the artisan group SEPALIM, a poverty alleviation organization in northeastern Madagascar. SEPALIM invests in local leadership and community led initiatives, and works to link artisans and farmers to global markets.
