This beautiful metal cuff is made from recycled 55 steel drums. It's a product of one of Haiti's most celebrated art forms: steel drum art! Artisans take the oil drums, create a large fire, burn off the excess oil, and then using a hammer and a few small tools (similar to railroad spikes) create the intricate designs.
