Set of Three Boxed Tall Hand-Painted Candles - Maji Design - Nobunto Candles

These globally-inspired hand-painted candles are small works of art. Crafted by artisans in South Africa, each candle is hand-poured and then individually hand-painted. Each design name is derived from a special African word that is brought to life through the color and patterns which reflect the culture and influences of South Africa. The style images pictured illustrate the general design, but note that each candle is one of a kind. Creates a calm ambiance that transforms any space into a personal sanctuary. A truly unique and beautiful gift for hostesses, housewarming, wedding, anniversary, and more that makes a striking addition to every home and a beautiful conversation piece!

• In Swahili, "Maji" means water. The surf of the turquoise-blue Indian Ocean on the East African coast rumbles dark driftwood pieces to the beige-colored sandy beach. The sound of the waves relaxes the body and mind.
• Set of 3 Boxed Dinner Tapers. Eco-friendly box made from recycled materials. Candles measure approximately 9-inches tall x .75-inches in diameter. Burn time averages 10 hours.
• Unscented, high-quality, fully-refined paraffin wax from Germany. Non-toxic color pigments and natural wicks. Individually hand-painted. Designs will have differences, but will be consistent in colors and icons that reflect the style.
• Each candle is hand poured and hand painted by South African artisans with years of experience. After the candles are poured, they are handed off to the special background painters, who paint the entire wax candle with a base color that sets the tone for the design work. Masterful artists then paint the designs on each piece. It is truly exciting to watch the lightening-fast strokes of the paintbrushes transform what was molten wax into gorgeously colorful, individualized works of art!
