Palm leaf-made shrilling chicken, Chinese traditional handicraft
by Ting Zhang
This funny chick is made by natural palm leaf. It took me more than 6 hours to weave. The length of it is about 17cm, and you can grab its neck with one hand easily. Palm leaf weaving is a Chinese traditional handicraft which starts from 3000 years ago. The specialty of this craft is using palm leaf as the the weaving material. Although the material is natural leaf, the works can be kept for decades without any distortion.
