In Haiti, wonderful decorative metal wall sculptures are created from flattened drums which were originally used to transport oil or other industrial products. After removing the tops and bottom and slitting down the sides, the drums are flattened and then carved by hand into highly decorative works of art. Using only hammers, chisels and other simple tools, the artists creates elaborate, decorative designs out of the flattened steel drum.
