Eight Inch Spotted Metal Gecko - Caribbean Craft

19.99

This gecko is handmade in Haiti from recycled oil drums. Each has a small hook to hang the piece and is painted with a bright colorful design inspired by the local Haitian culture. From head to tail, the gecko is 8 inches long.

Meet the Artisans

Founded in 1990 by a multinational group of young entrepreneurs, Caribbean Craft promotes employment in Haiti by training unskilled craftspeople, and by assisting the independent artisans through the introduction of new designs and new market outlets for painted Haitian metal art.

Caribbean Craft's specialty is the brightly colored, artistically hand-painted Haitian metal art wall hangings. These hand-painted Haitian metal art pieces are truly works of art. Wall art designs include painted metal geckos, painted metal dragonflies and painted metal frogs.

Just what I was looking for!!

On a recent vacation to Grand Cayman I saw this cute gecko and wanted to find one to take home. I couldn't find one anywhere!! Then I saw these!! They are so cute and colorful. I would love to find one a little bigger, 22 inches or so but these work well on my patio. Order was filled promptly and arrived in perfect condition. And I like supporting fair trade.

Thank you so much 'Pleidel' for your Five Star Review of our Geckos! Aren't they the absolute cutest?? We sold quite a few of these, they certainly will bring a little bit of the Grand Cayman memories back to you, all the while enjoying their perfect place on your patio. Thank you too for joining the fair trade movement. Every little bit helps ...and helps other in developing countries attain employment,  education, food, water and medicines! Thank you! :)!! I hope to see you again soon! - Michele Adams/Shopkeeper

beautiful fair trade decoration!

This fair trade gecko is an 8 inch colorful decorative piece that now hangs on my office wall. It has a slightly primitive feel to it and still fits well in a more sophisticated décor. The Village Country Store delivered ahead of promised delivery time, packaging was secure and professional and included a little note describing the fair trade provenance. I’m a delighted customer! Thank you!
