Large Bone Folder by Chino Crafts
These large, genuine hand-crafted bone folders were sourced from domesticated water buffalo. Chino Crafts sources raw materials strictly from abattoirs that are officially licensed to operate by the government of Nepal.
"Our intention , involvement and action in buying and selling of animals is zero percent," said Chino Crafts manager Bindu Adhikary. "As long as our age-old tradition of consuming meat stays, this will require the safest and most hygienic disposal of these animal byproducts. They serve as farm fertilizers and bring nourishment to food plants we grow. Crafters like ourselves have our own unique and lesser noticed way of contributing our little bit to do away with these perishables. We elevate horn and bone to an art form. We breathe new life into them. Our gifted carvers turn them into objects of art that will bring joy to millions!"
