Four Geckos Haitian Metal Drum Wall Art
Crafted from recycled 55-gallon steel drums by village artisans in Haiti, the Four Geckos Haitian Metal Drum Wall Art is a reflection of the beauty that can emerge from upcycling. The intricate process involves cutting steel drums, burning off residual oil to clean the metal, and then flattening the sheets to create stunning, one-of-a-kind art pieces. Suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, this wall art brings a touch of Haitian craftsmanship to your living space.
