Village artisans in Haiti's Croix-des-Bouquets cut, cleaned, hammered, and shaped it entirely by hand into something worth keeping — a small, sturdy container with round handles and a darkened steel patina that only gets better with time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUse it as a planter, a catch-all, a candle holder, or simply as a sculptural object on a shelf.

Each drum is sourced, burned clean, flattened, and hand-hammered into shape — no two pieces are identical. The coloration comes naturally from the burning process, giving each container its own unique patina. This is sustainable craft at its most honest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDue to the handmade and upcycled nature of this piece, minor variations in color, texture, and finish are natural and expected.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Croix des Bouquets","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53682765660467,"sku":"HMDBWLSM","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0917\/2815\/0835\/files\/IMG-0795.png?v=1783905762","url":"https:\/\/kyngsiadesigns.com\/products\/large-hammered-metal-container-with-round-handles-croix-des-bouquets","provider":"KyngSia Designs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
