OSTRICH-EGG WATER CANTEEN ($85)

For thousands of years the San people of southern Africa, including the Kalahari Desert, used Ostrich egg shells as water containers.  They have traditionally both carried and stored water in these amazing vessels. Once you’ve seen, touched, and listened to an Ostrich egg, you begin to appreciate its unique qualifications as a water canteen and water storage container.

Using the best of the local native plants we have crafted a cork from a lightweight, yet sturdy arid-lands wood. For the knotted net bag we can make it either out of Jute (as in the photo) or at your request, we can make an all-wild knotted net bag out of Palmer Agave cordage. We will also adorn your Ostrich egg canteen by applying natural mineral paints from the Earth to its surface and scrimshaw to the exterior of the egg. Alternatively, we can sell you a Mineral Paint kit for you to adorn your Ostrich egg water container if you prefer.
