Khutsala™ Artisans Brown Swazi Hut Ornament 1 Piece

These unique Swazi Hut Ornaments are made from Lucky Seeds™ and dried Sisal, both of which are found in Eswatini. Huts are the main homestead of Swazi people. This ornament represents the homestyle that the swazi people live.

What is sisal?
Sisal is a species of agave that is grown in Africa and throughout other areas of the world. It is commonly used to make ropes and other durable material. Khutsala™ Artisans cut the sisal, remove the green part of it, and dry it in the sun in order to use it as the top part of these ornaments.

What are Lucky Seeds™?
Lucky Seeds™, more commonly known as “Swazi baby teething beads” or river beads, are found in Eswatini. This tropical wild grass seed has been gathered and used for generations by local swazi women for their babies to chew on as a natural teething remedy. They are referred to as Job’s tears in other parts of the world.
