Set of Three Boxed Hand-Painted Candles - Zahabu Design

Capture the golden light of an African sunset — right on your table. Zahabu means "the golden one" in Swahili, inspired by the sun that rules the rhythm of life across Africa — a blazing yellow disk at noon, a glowing red fireball as it grazes the horizon at dusk. These votive candles bring that same warmth and drama to any setting.

Hand-poured and individually painted by South African artisans at NOBUNTO, a fair-trade company dedicated to empowering women in their community, each votive is one of a kind. The background color is laid first, then skilled artists add the intricate Zahabu motifs with swift, confident brushstrokes.

Set the table. Light the candles. Tell the story.
