Golu Gullak - Coconut Shell Gannu Bank

A small elephant-shaped money bank carved from a whole coconut shell, so no two are identical in grain or shape. It works as a shelf ornament as much as a coin bank, and children tend to adopt it quickly. The packaging is fully recycled.

Good to Know

FAQs

How do you get the coins out?

It is a traditional gullak-style bank, so it is designed to be filled rather than emptied on demand.

Is it sturdy enough for a child?

Coconut shell is hard and holds up to handling, but it can crack if dropped on a stone floor.

Will each one look like the photo?

The shape and design are the same; the shell's colour and markings differ from piece to piece.
