Stackable Serving Platter Set
These lovely pieces are hand carved from a solid piece of sustainably harvested East African Acacia Tortilis hardwood. Twenty-five highly skilled Maasai artisans are involved in bringing each piece to life by hand shaping, hand sanding and hand rubbing with a special mixture of food-safe, luxury oils to ensure the finest quality and luster.
You may purchase the Set, consisting of two of the Small Serving Platters (7” X 7”), which can be nested inside the Large Serving Platter (15” X 8”). Or you may purchase the pieces separately.
