Raffia Tortoise

The critically endangered ploughshare tortoise is endemic to Madagascar.

This large and attractive tortoise is one of the rarest tortoises on the planet.

Just like these wonderful raffia tortoises, handmade, you will never find two identical and I believe this is part of the charm.

They will decorate in any kids room & satisfy any lovers of turtles.

Handmade with heart in rural Madagascar by Jean Claude, a young boy.

Natural raffia is truly a fantastic natural material that can be made in many nice colors, patterns, sizes, and shapes.

Each piece is a one-of-a-kind treasure.

Use to play and to decorate.

The poverty in Madagascar is crushing and income from their craft is critical to their survival.
