Mbira Scale African Fan

12,95 € IVA incluido

Mbira Escama African fan, handmade in the Republic of Benin with 100% cotton African wax fabric in shades of black, orange, yellow, and green. Its dense and vibrant print, composed of spiral scale-like shapes, evokes African percussion instruments and the natural flow of rhythm in traditional dance.

The name Mbira Escama refers to the mbira, also known as the “thumb piano,” a traditional instrument from southern Africa that produces cyclical, enveloping sounds. The fan’s scales simulate this visual rhythm, which repeats and connects us with bodily and spiritual movement.
💡 Cultural fact: The mbira is not only musical: it is also meditation, communication with ancestors, and a tool for collective healing.

Materials: 100% cotton African wax fabric. Leather handles

Print: Scale- or drop-shaped motif in green, orange, and yellow on a black background, creating a sense of constant visual pulsation.

Dimensions: 21 x 4 cm (closed). Approx. 27 cm diameter (open). Foldable, lightweight, and easy to transport.

Origin: Handmade in the Republic of Benin. Each piece is unique, crafted by local artisans.
