Pine Wood Napkin Rings of Set of 4-“Tropical Birds”
Colorful tropical birds from El Salvador come to life as napkin rings. This set can be used at your 4th of July party dinner to add a pop of color to the table. The rich colors are in line with the Independence Day theme and will grab your guests’ attention!
The quartet of napkin holders is beautifully crafted of pinewood and hand painted by members of the God’s Seed Cooperative. Founded in 1977 in El Salvador, the Cooperative created world-famous designs. They started work in 1976 with a workshop school to teach painting and carpentry skills, and then the cooperative was founded. They chose the name “God’s Seed” to honor the seed of the jatoba or copal tree because, from the beginning, they painted beautiful landscapes on these seeds and sold them.
