COCK OF THE ROCK BIRD FAIRTRADE CHRISTMAS TREE ORNAMENT WOVEN BY PERUVIAN AMAZON ARTISAN

This unique fair-trade ornament represents the Andean cock-of-the-rock bird - best known in the wet mountainous forests in the Andes.   It will look great hanging on your Christmas tree, rear-view mirror or adding a colorful touch to another part of your home.

This ornament was woven with chambira palm fiber by a native Amazon artisan. The sale of these ornaments supports forest conservation and helps meet local needs in traditional communities in Peru. These bird ornaments were made artisans from the campesino village of San Francisco on the Maranon River.

Each ornament comes with a tag listing the name and home of the artisan who made it and the plants used to make it. This ornament is 3" long - about one-fourth of the size of the actual bird.

Please remember that each ornament is hand-made so the exact design may vary from the photo of this model.
