Handblown Recycled Glass Buffalo Figurine

Each piece is handblown in Eswatini from 100% recycled glass - bottles gathered by local communities and given new life by skilled Swazi artisans using techniques refined over generations.

The maker partners directly with local schools to build environmental awareness, so every sculpture supports both glass recycling and education alongside steady artisan income.

Because each one is shaped entirely by hand and breath, no two are identical - small variations in form and color are the signature of genuine handwork, and of a circular economy in action.
