The traditional Fulani earring is the inspiration for these one-of-a-kind, hand crafted ceramic jars.  Given to brides from grooms, or to marrying daughters from their mothers, Fulani earrings represent beauty and prestige among Malian tribes.  The women of the Kpando region of Ghana are famed for their artistry in ceramics, and have captured the unique, elegant shape of the Fulani earring for our Fulani Candles. 

For generations, women in the village of Kpando have been admired for their unique pottery.  The forms are molded entirely by hand using no modern equipment.  The earthy glow of the seed-burnished finish is the distinguishing mark of the ceramists of the region.

Through a fair trade cooperative, the jars come to us in their gently fired state.  We then fill them with eco-safe soy and vegetable waxes and sumptuous fragrances for each season.  We absolutely love the Fulani Candle. It embodies the whole of what SAKILÉ is: natural, beautiful, and in honor of the traditions of Africa.
