Hand Painted Recycled Tin and Beaded Pin

Craftspeople from Kenya created these little dangling dancing girl earrings from copper recycled telephone and car engine wire and shiny scrap tin. Brightly colored glass beads decorate her hair, neck, arms and legs.

The talented craftspeople are part of the Jua Kali sector located in Kisumu, Kenya. They often labor under the "hot sun" as the name implies. This is a fair trade item. The pins are finished by TEMAK (Teen-Age Mothers Kisumu.

The earrings hang from a ball and coil hook and measure 2.5 inches long from the top of the hook.

The photo is representative of the item, as these are handmade, each item will be slightly different.
