Princess 
number 3 brought back some wonderful things from Kenya. She got herself this amazing spear. It is very sharp on both ends and she was saying how they won their Independence using them a few decades ago.She brought me back the most beautiful nativity. Th
e weird thing is that she had to order it from the convent where they stayed sight unseen as with most of the other items she purchased. They had a man that came and shared a few ideas of what they had and if they didn't order from him, they took a risk at not being able to get anything later as you never know when each vendor will be out or not and what they will have day to day or if it is safe to trust them.

The zebra stripped ones are coconut type shell painted. They are all unique.
