The full moon rising over Makira Natural Park just outside of our artisan community in Madagascar is a magical sight to behold. It inspired this wall hanging which brings that stunning natural beauty into your home.
This piece is hand-crafted from Ceranchia wild silk, which is a species of silk only found in Madagascar. The silk cocoons are sustainably harvested, ironed flat, and sewn together. Then it is naturally dyed with plant material grown in our artisans' garden. This piece is dyed with a local plant called Foleramena, which gives a beautiful sage grey color. The gold moon is the natural undyed color of the wild silk.
Comes with a bamboo pole for easy hanging.
- Dimensions: 18"x18"
- Handmade from start to finish in Madagascar
- Slight variations in size and color due to the handcrafted process
- Eco-friendly, Wild Life Friendly, and Fair Trade Certified

These are lovely. Cleverly handmade with great colors. My niece is in love with all insects, and with art, and these are the perfect mix of the two.

This handmade piece is really beautifully crafted. We wanted to spruce up a spare bedroom with a simple natural feel, and this piece had the perfect feeling we needed. It came with a nice description/story of how it was ethically sourced and handmade using natural materials. Shipping was quick, shipped well protected. Thank you for the beautiful work!
