Coconut Bowl/Lamp-Silver Inner

Description

Coconut milk is key to much Balinese cooking which leaves a huge mountain of empty coconuts.

Fortunately, Bali is packed with creative artists who put their skills to good use producing these decorative bowls that can be used in a wide variety of ways. A wonderful re-purposing use of a waste product.  

Made from cut-out coconut shell.

My favourite use for these is with a tea light as it throws magical mesmerising patterns through the cut outs. Fairly traded, supporting artisans in Indonesia. 

Specifications

Silver coloured lacquer inner.
