Product Description
NOVICA, in association with National Geographic, offers thousands of limited edition and one-of-a-kind gifts, jewelry, and home decor treasures handmade by master artists and artisans throughout the world. Beautiful Iemanja rises from the waters dressed as a bride as followers shower her with floral offerings. Honored as the Orixa of the seas, lakes, and fertility, Iemanja is celebrated on February 2, when people take their requests with offering of flowers, perfumes, candles, or jewelry.

Lilian Sampaio joins the celebrations with this admirable pair of cork placemats, which reproduce the work of Alfredo Pereira. The Brazilian artist is acclaimed for the unique way with which he captures the customs and traditions of Candomble.
