ABOUT THIS PRODUCT

This hand-carved giraffe is shaped from a single piece of olivewood by artisans in Zimbabwe, its natural grain flowing through the animal's graceful form. Each one is unique, with warm tones that deepen in character over time.

The form honors the Shona legend of Twiza, the giraffe who stretched toward the heavens and earned her elegant height — a quiet reminder that curiosity and extra effort are rewarded.

  • Material: Hand-carved olivewood, single piece
  • Height: Twenty-four inches (24″) tall
  • Origin: Handmade in Zimbabwe
  • Note: Natural grain variation makes each sculpture one of a kind
