These Ankole trays are perfect to store your keys, jewelry, or coins. Handcut by our artisan partner, these custom horn trays are shaped and then polished by the women in our Sanctuaries. These decorative trays are a unique item made in Uganda and showcase the natural beauty and color variation of the horn. The purchase of these trays directly support both a small business and the women in our Sanctuaries.
Ankole cattle are an important part of food and tradition in various parts of Uganda. Their horns are typically discarded as waste, unless recycled into beautiful handcrafted goods. Our ankole products are untreated with chemicals or sealants, meaning they are eco-friendly and biodegradable, but as a soft material, they can absorb water.
Size is approximately 4" x 7" and 1" deep.
Please follow these care instructions to keep your tray in good condition:
