Horn Chapeau Wine Stopper
Elevate your wine experience with the exquisite Ankole Horn Tip Wine Cork. This stunning piece is an ideal gift for wine enthusiasts or a thoughtful, ethical addition to your home wine bar. Each wine stopper features assorted color tones, ensuring a unique touch to your collection.
Crafted from the horns of the Ankole-Watusi cattle, native to western Uganda and East Africa, this product is a testament to sustainable craftsmanship. The horns, a byproduct of the food industry, are purchased directly from local cattle keepers, providing them with valuable revenue. Skilled artisans from a small-scale cooperative hand-carve and polish each piece according to Maadili designs.
The horn is sustainably sourced from rural Ugandan communities, ensuring that it is upcycled rather than wasted. Each piece is hand-carved in a Fair Trade artisan cooperative, highlighting the dedication to ethical production. The natural variability in horn color means no two stoppers are alike, with shades ranging from white to brown to black.
This wine stopper is handmade in Uganda, with an approximate size of 4" x 1". To maintain its beauty, it is recommended to hand wash this unique piece.
