This piece is an instant classic. With its two toned color and subtle variation, this piece makes a large statement in a small package. No other piece better shows the true beauty of the alibangbang leaf. "Alibangbang, known as the "butterfly" leaf in the native language or Illango, is shaped like a butterfly. This leaf has both medicinal and food flavoring purposes throughout the South Pacific. Fossilization is the process of drying leaves over a three to four month period and then hand rubbing the chlorophyll of the leaf so only the leaf's skeleton remains. Once the chlorophyll is removed, the leaf is stained in organic dyes. Since the leaves are natural, each one will absorb dye differently. The resulting effect is a lamp with different hues and shades (sometimes within the same leaf).
