Bird Bowl Haitian Metal Drum Tabletop Decor

Crafted from recycled 55-gallon steel drums by village artisans in Haiti, these stunning pieces of art are truly one-of-a-kind! The process of turning sheets of metal into beautiful art is all done by hand. Steel drums used to transport oil into the capital of Haiti are cut, the oil is burned off to clean the metal and then flattened in order to create stunning, upcycled art. Suitable for indoor or outdoor use. Type: metal table decor. Colors: metallic. Materials: upcycled steel metal. Finish: lacquer. Dimensions: approx. 4" diameter. Care: if using outdoors it is recommended to spray with a clear lacquer once or twice a year, as prolonged exposure to the elements will cause rust. As the metal is recovered from recycled oil drums and colored through a burning process it will vary slightly in coloration. Typically the piece has a darkened steel patina. Each piece of art is coated with a layer of clear lacquer to help protect the metal.
