Tagua ("tah-gwa"), also called ivory nut or vegetable ivory, is the side of several kinds of palms that grow in tropical rainforests. The durability of tagua and its similarity to animal ivory has been known for a long time. Before tagua was displaced by plastic in the 1930's, tropical countries exported large quantities of tagua to the US and Europe to make buttons. Unlike products made from animal ivory, tagua products help to conserve rare and endangered species by providing an incentive to protect the rainforest habitat. The Wounaan and Embera' peoples are master artisans whose comarcas (reserved lands) are in the Darien Peninsula of Panama. The male artisans are highly skilled wood carvers who hand craft canoes, paddles, household furnishings and ceremonial objects. In recent years they have extended their carving and painting skills to tagua and have created a unique and imaginative art from the rainforest. Each carving is signed by the artist.
