Kenyan Olivewood Triple Spice Bowl with Spoons

This uniquely styled spice serving bowl is hand carved from wild olive wood by Kamba carvers in Kenya. A beautiful tree prized for its richly grained wood, wild olive is legally sourced by carving cooperatives from protected lands. To utilize the entire tree, artisans carve large and small pieces, from salad bowls down to spice spoons and heart keepsakes.
