This a wonderful Vintage Recycled Multi Color Tin Can African Butterfly
that comes from Tanzania. In Senegal, Mali, Kenya and other countries
in Africa, resourceful people have long excelled at fashioning toys from
the available materials, such as tin cans, wire and scrap rubber and
plastic that we would discard as trash. It's at an early age that
children in Africa learn responsibility. They help adults to gather
firewood, draw water, grow food, herd livestock and tend babies. Even
when they begin to invent their own toys, making an animal from an empty
can and a piece of rope, they must often interrupt their amusement to
help the family. By age 12 and 13, many of these children are quite
accomplished and tin-snips and pliers are prized tools. Building their
toys, children picture the places they will go and the things they will
do, all the while learning to be artists, engineers and inventors. These
toys can also help supplement the family's income by selling their
works to foreigners. This adorable recycled tin Scorpion is so unique
in design and craftsmanship. What a wonderful gift for that someone
special or just a unique decorative item for your home or to add to your
collection. They are a one of a kind and beautifully crafted.
