Sejnane Heritage Clay Candle Holder
UNESCO Heritage Masterpiece – Sejnane, Tunisia
Bring home a piece of living history with this handcrafted clay candle holder created by the women artisans of Sejnane, whose millennia-old pottery tradition was inscribed by UNESCO in 2018 as Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
Provenance
Each piece is handmade from locally sourced Sejnane clay, shaped entirely without a wheel, mold, or industrial tools. The clay is sun-dried and fired in open flames — the same ancestral method practiced for more than 3,000 years.
Description
The Sejnane Clay Candle Holder features an organic, sculptural form shaped exclusively by the artisan’s instinct and hand movements. Its textured finish, natural pigments, and rhythmic curves give it a museum-worthy presence.
