This unique fair-trade ornament represent the great blue heron - an iconic long-legged bird found near marshes and other water bodies in North America. It is similar in form and function to the blue and grey cocoi heron found near water throughout the Amazon.
These ornaments were 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.
One version of this species features dark blue plumage while the other features slate blue coloring.
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 ornament was hand-made so the exact design of the craft may vary from the photo shown for this model.
