Crafted from a single, curved Queen Palm spathe and fitted with a twisted natural vine handle, it features a bold, hand-painted geometric diamond motif in turquoise, white, and red.
​Function & Scale:
Unlike smaller tourist wares, this piece stands a substantial 22.5 inches high, making it a functional piece of furniture rather than a simple accessory. It is perfectly scaled to serve as a fireside log carrier, a vessel for rolled textiles, or a sculptural object in a minimalist or bohemian interior.

Dimensions: 15" W x 10" D
