The Frigate Coin Purse – Seedwork Handicraft
About the Item
Dive into the Botaniqué Studios' “Flora, Fauna & Nationality” collection, an ode to the multifaceted natural habitat of Antigua and Barbuda and our national symbols, such as the Frigate Bird.
The Frigate Birds, also called, Man-o-war by locales, because they rob other seabirds of their newly caught food. The Frigate is the national bird of Antigua and Barbuda. Barbuda boasts the largest Frigate breeding and nesting colony in the world. Large birds with forked tails, the Frigate soars with a wingspan from 7-8 ft. The Frigate can be a symbol of national pride or war. The choice is yours.
These artistic expressions are botanical in nature and are unique to the twin-island Caribbean nation of Antigua and Barbuda. This scenic space in the Caribbean sea is home to 100,000 persons and was initially inhabited by Amerindians. The island has a past binding its people to a history of enslavement. As exemplified by the Botaniqué line of products, traditional artisanship is one of the few remaining intangible cultural skills that keep the island’s heritage alive.
This item is from our Sui Generis line. Sui Generis is a Latin-derived phrase meaning one of a kind, which summarizes the pieces of this collection. Every Sui Generis piece is unique and has a stock of one.
If you purchase anything from this collection, you will be the only one to have it, as these items are rare patterns and do not restock. You may use ideas from any of these designs in the creation of a custom item (email to inquire), as with all our wares. Still, these specific pieces you must buy while you can before they’re gone forever.
