The Liberta Bracelet – Authentic Wild Tamarind Seed Ware

About the Item

The “Liberta” bracelet is an authentic artistic expression directly tying our tradition to a challenging past in every seed. The “Liberta” bracelet is aptly named after one of the largest villages in Antigua, which appropriately received the name for its meaning––liberty and honoring the freed people. This unique and handmade bracelet is created with freedom in mind with wild tamarind seeds sprinkled with vibrant scarlet beads, perfectly placed within this signature “Louise” styled design and with a message that is undeniably as beautiful and profound as the craft itself. Botanique allows the consumer to explore and celebrate African history, albeit under the jurisdiction of the diaspora. The painstaking process of creating these crafts represents the stamina of the people and the traditions who made the journey from the African Continent. This craft is of such value that its preservation and development should be an essential element of efforts to enliven African culture among the diaspora.

  • Esther Belt, Authentic Wild Tamarind Seed Bracelet
    Located in Oxford, MD
    Capturing the mixture of tradition and vibrancy, the Esther Belt is a part of our “Artisan Collection,” lovingly named after one of our Master Seedwork Artisans, Esther Edwards. This unique and handmade bracelet is created with wild tamarind seeds dyed black, uniquely and innovatively dyed with shoe dye, and perfectly placed within this signature design.

This piece presented is only a snapshot of the broad range of custom-made products produced by the hands of master artisan Antiguan and Barbudan women who specialize in seedwork—created out of the wild tamarind and jumbie bead Seeds. Only five women were on the island of Antigua as master seed workers. To save this art form before it vanished forever, an educational program was developed to preserve the tradition of seed work, with full scholarships for young candidates. Botaniqué Studios...
