Product Description
A wonderful piece of folk art, following 60 years of tradition
Haitian metal sculpture was developed as an artform in the late 1950's by a blacksmith with boundless imagination and a village full of discarded oil drums. He began experimenting by making grave markers, but soon his work became recognized and he expanded to create sculptures of many kinds, including elaborate stand-alone pieces. As demand for his art increased, he taught friends and family members his craft. Today, that same little village is filled with the ringing sound of hammers against metal. Haitian metal is on the map!
