Roots Motif Frame 8 x 10

Lichtenberg, or fractal burning, which produces these incredible lightning designs in the mango wood of the Roots Motif Frames, requires great skill and care. This 8x10 picture frame was carefully crafted by artisans in India working with Noah's Ark Exports, who provide a multitude of social programs to increase artisans' opportunities to thrive.

Who Made It: Noah's Ark International Exports is a fair trade handicraft marketing organization in Moradabad, India. Noah's Ark provides benefits such as education and medical treatment for artisans and their families. As artisan businesses become more self-sufficient, Noah's Ark takes on new families. Since the company's inception, about 20 artisan workshops have become independent. Noah's Ark started in 1986, in one room of a family house in Moradabad. Businessman Samuel Masih observed that exporters and middlemen were taking advantage of handicraft artisans. He started Noah's Ark to promote these artisans and their crafts.
