Helping Hands Salad Servers

It takes a sense of humor to appreciate this incredibly whimsical set of salad servers hand carved from wild olive wood by talented Kenyan artisans. The whimsy is balanced by the rich grain of wild olive wood, a native and rigorously protected species preferred by Kamba wood carvers.

The Kamba, or Akamba, occupy Kenya's semi-arid Eastern Province and have a long trading history. The Kamba are renowned for their skill at carving and basket weaving, and examples of their modern artistry can be found in homes, shops and galleries around the world.
