Narra Wood Screen w/ Capiz Shell Insets 32"x2"x81". Has a few surface scratches from handling. Narra wood is a Phillipine mahogany. The wood that went into making these screens were collected from abandoned villages around Vigan and recycled. There is a government ban on export of newly-harvested Narra. The shells are Capiz and were harvested from around the Philippine Islands. These screens are traditional Fillipino window and door coverings.
