Made of ethically sourced bone, this frame is hand carved into arrow points and set in a mosaic chevron pattern. The natural, unique texture of the bone allows color variation in each piece from emerald to forest and soft mint giving it almost a marbled effect.

In villages of north central India, woodcarving is a way of life with Muslim roots. And yet, many artisans such as Mohammad Afzal wish for their children to abandon the tradition for something more profitable.
Organizations like Matr Boomie that pay fair trade prices while investing in artisan health and wellness (such as by providing face masks to prevent dust inhalation) make it more likely that artisans will consider the work beneficial enough to pass on to their children.
This is the most beautiful frame I've owned. The bone is laid like seamless mosaic and the blue is like the waters of Belize. It makes the photo of my nephew and I sing. It is a reminder of how I haven't seen India but one future day I will look at it and remember India.
Very nice
This is a beautiful product. I am really glad I purchased it :)
