Christmas Monkey Balls Carved Rings

Assorted styles, patterns and colours.

Price is for 4 monkey ball decorations

Monkey balls do actually grow on trees.  Strychnos spinosa (Monkey Apple).  Gathering of Monkey Balls is done by unemployed people in rural areas, and provides a valuable source of income to families who would otherwise have little or none.  The harvesting of the balls also protects the trees from being cut for firewood.  These items are African in inspiration, origin and manufacture.

As these items are handmade colour and size may differ slightly.
