Olive wood is a wild tree native to East Africa, known for its brilliant grain patterns and durability. Kenyan artisans hand carve the fine wood into useful salad servers with a pleasantly curving pendulum shape and handles adorned with bleached cow bone. Available in large or small sizes. Hand-wash only.
