This beautiful set of oars was meticulously hand-carved by skilled artisans on the island of Sumba, Indonesia, using traditional, time-honored techniques.

For centuries, oars like these have been essential tools for the local people, used not only for navigating the island’s pristine waters but also in ceremonial dances and wedding rituals, where the canoe holds great significance. The choice of wood reflects its enduring strength and durability, perfectly suited for both practical use and spiritual ceremonies.

The set comes complete with its blackened metal supports and its story printed out for you inside a beautiful envelope.  Being artisan crafted, every piece is an original, showcasing the wood’s natural beauty with organic imperfections and weathered cracks. The handmade metal supports carry their own authenticity, with subtle imperfections and the potential for a natural patina to emerge over time.
