Product Overview:
Up for sale is a stunning piece of authentic African Banana Leaf Mosaic Art. This unique wall hanging features a striking zebra, meticulously handcrafted using natural dried banana plant fibers and bark.

* Subject: African Zebra in a classic profile.
* Origin: Handcrafted in East Africa (likely Kenya or Uganda).

Condition:
This piece is in good vintage condition. The organic fibers have maintained their rich, earthy tones. As with all handmade natural art, there may be slight textural variations or minor "lifting" of fibers which adds to its authentic charm.
