Fair Trade Hand Carved Parasite Wood Eagle Carving 22cm

Fair Trade Hand Carved Parasite Wood Eagle Carving 

Hand Carved by skilled artisans in Indonesia using Parasite wood.

Parasite wood is actually a fungus which grown on the Chinaberry tree. A mushroom-like growth that imbeds itself into the bark and get's its nourishment from the tree sap. These parasite growths are so hard and dense that they don't decay when the tree is dead and rots away - leaving these parasite growths to be picked up and carved into beautiful creatures.
