Tagua (aka Vegetable Ivory), pronounced ‘Ta-Gwa’ is a nut that grows in certain types of palm trees. It’s an awesome, super hard, natural material that is fun to carve. Before the invention of plastics Tagua was also exported to Europe and the U.S. for the button industry.
This unique piece depicts a coiled Viper, native to Indonesia where the Tagua nut was found by us on our travels and brought back to the UK.
