Handcrafted Beaded Giraffe New

4” tall at head and 1 1/2 inch across body Stands by self or has ribbon to hang Handcrafted by Maasai women’s collective. The Naapok bead project in Ketumbeine, North Maasailand, Tanzania provides 55 Maasai women with a small regular income who make and sell their beadwork. Each piece is done by hand with locally available glass beads, wire, and recycled plastic. This long-held beading tradition is helping alleviate extreme poverty due to land restrictions that impact the Maasai's traditional nomadic herding life.
