The word 'Mokoro' is often heard in the Okavango Swamps of Botswana and translates roughly to 'dugout canoe'. Much like how the inhabitants of this area carve their canoes, the process of making this incredible centerpiece is nearly identical, just on a much smaller scale. A perfect piece to accent a long dining table or mantel, this centerpiece can be filled with whatever fruit, flowers, or adornments fit your style.

Measurements: 41"-43"L x 8"-10"W x 6"H

Sizing is approximate since each piece is handmade, and the product can vary slightly from the dimensions provided.
