Christmas Xhosa Harvest Angel

A unique craft / art form of South Africa, the origins of wire art are most likely from the hills of rural northern Kwazulu-Natal. For many years, due to a lack of resources to buy proper toys, youngsters fashioned their own toys out of discarded wire coat hangers and tin cans.

- Galvanized wire forms the shape of the angel. Wrapped with more wire, along with gold and light amber colour beads it is finished with copper wire detailing and a wire hook for hanging.
- A beautiful mini example of South Africa's iconic bead and wire art.
- Crafted in Cape Town by Streetwires bead and wire artists.
- Simply beautiful hanging on the Christmas tree or as a finishing touch with gift wrapping.
- Pair it with the Christmas Xhosa Star.
