These earrings are hand carved, polished and batiked with a tribal mud cloth print design. Its a tidious process to make these batik giraffe print earrings. First the dangle is hand-carved from cow bone to the desired shape and size. Then the print is drawn, wax is applied to the parts that are not to get the dye. Its is then dipped in the dye and after its dried the wax is removed to result in a batik giraffe print like the one on this earrings. This earring also does come in a large size. We have a few of them so the one you will get might look slightly different since they are handmade.
