Porcupine quills

Just received these new ethically sourced African Porcupine quills today. I can’t wait to turn these into earrings for you guys!!! 🖤✨

Porcupines from South Africa are larger than North American porcupines, their quills shed naturally and regrow afterwards. These quills are collected by artisans.

African Porcupine Quills under Glass Cloche

This image showcases the quills of a porcupine, which are long, thin, and sharp with alternating bands of black and white. The quills are densely packed, covering the porcupine's body like protective armor. The tips of the quills are pointed and erect, ready to deter predators. The background might depict the porcupine's natural habitat, such as a forest floor or rocky terrain. The aspect ratio is 9:16.

Quantity: 3 Porcupine Quills Size: 8 inches up to 10 inches Porcupine quills are used in American Indian crafts. Porcupine quills were folded, twisted, wrapped, plaited and sewn using a wide range of techniques to decorate articles of clothing, bags, knife sheaths, baskets, wooden handles and pipe stems. Imported from South Africa.
