$28.00 Sale Save

This beautiful handcrafted decoration is woven by Peruvian Amazon Artisans.

These unique fair-trade ornament represent the yellow crowned parrot - a classic parrot from Peru and other parts of the Amazon. Either one 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 parrots were made artisans from the villages of Amazonas and 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.

Please remember that each craft was handmade so its exact design may vary from the photo shown of this model.
