Hand made from colourful telephone wire, this little elephant magnet will brighten up any space.
The craft of Zulu telephone wire art is based on traditional basket weaving and was conceived by Zulu night watchmen, who would weave discarded telephone wire around their security sticks to keep themselves busy. This trend was then transformed by the women who then used the materials and technique to create colourful bowls, baskets and novelty items.
5% of the proceeds from the sale of each elephant magnet will be donated back to conservation initiatives in southern Africa.
As all items are individually crafted, small variations should be expected.
