Crafted from recycled 55-gallon steel drums by village artisans in Haiti, these intricate ornaments are truly one-of-a-kind! The nativity scene has been delicately chiseled and features a star over the creche scene. The process of turning sheets of metal into beautiful art is all done by hand. Steel drums used to transport oil into the capital of Haiti are cut, the oil is burned off to clean the metal, and then flattened in order to create stunning, upcycled art.
Given the handmade nature of this product please allow for minor variations. As the metal is recovered from recycled oil drums and colored through a burning process it will vary slightly in coloration. Typically the piece has a darkened steel patina. Each piece of metal art whether painted or natural is coated with a layer of clear lacquer to help protect the metal.
