  A banana tree typically produces fruit for about 25 to 30 years. When a banana tree reaches the end of its fruiting period or becomes unproductive, it is usually cut down and removed from the field. However, there is an eco-friendly way to re-use the banana fibers for crafts, or fabrics. After mature banana plants are harvested, their outer stems are stripped to expose the inner fibers. The fibers are then cleaned and softened through processes like washing, boiling, or steaming. After softening, the fibers are spun into yarn or thread using manual or mechanized spinning methods. The spun fibers can be woven into fabrics, used for crafting baskets or ropes, or shaped into various items by skilled artisans. The resulting banana fiber products vary in texture, strength, and appearance based on the banana variety, processing techniques, and craftsmanship. Banana fiber is valued for its eco-friendly and sustainable nature.
  
  Each piece is meticulously handmade by a skilled artisan in Kenya using sustainable banana fibers. This collection features five captivating animals: the Frog, Spider, Scorpion, Chameleon, and Lizard.
  
  Measuring approximately 3 inches x 3 inches, the Frogs possess an enchanting charm with their intricate details and lifelike appearances. Crafted with a sturdy wire frame and carefully wrapped with natural banana fibers, each piece showcases the remarkable craftsmanship and creativity of the artisan.
  
  Please note that each piece in this collection is absolutely unique, reflecting the natural materials used. The banana fibers exhibit a range of stunning golden to rich brown hues, showcasing the earthy beauty of the craft. As a result, the coloration may vary slightly from piece to piece, making your chosen animal truly one-of-a-kind.
  
  These captivating banana fiber animal creations serve as exceptional decor pieces, conversation starters, or thoughtful gifts. Immerse yourself in the rich artistry and cultural heritage of Kenya while supporting sustainable craftsmanship. Add a touch of nature's splendor to your home with our remarkable Kenyan Handcrafted Banana Fiber Animal Collection.
