Coconut Bowl-Gold Coloured Lacquer Inner

Description A wonderful re-purposing use of a waste product. Made from cut out coconut shells.Coconut milk is key to much Balinese cooking which leaves a huge mountain of empty coconuts. Fortunately, Bali is packed with creative artists who put their skills to good use producing these decorative bowls that can be used in a wide variety of ways.My favourite use for these is with a tea light as it throws magical mesmerising patterns through the cut outs.Fairly traded, supporting artisans in Indonesia.
