The Art of Tamo
This distinctive craft originates from Pasto, Colombia. Artisans begin with a wooden base, then adorn it with straw harvested from wheat and barley. Using techniques similar to mosaic art, they meticulously shave and layer dyed straw pieces to create intricate designs. Each finished piece receives three protective coats of lacquer.

Care & Display Instructions
