HOT ! Silk Bird Ornament - Sunbird

This exquisite handmade silk ornament depicts a unique bird species endemic to Madagascar.  The souimanga sunbird has colorful plumage, a cheerful song, and a lovely curved beak.  Its silk cocoon texture and colorful look will be sure to brighten your day.

This ornament is a perfect holiday decoration, but can also be used as a ready-to-hang miniature artwork.   It comes in a lovely box for easy gifting, and includes a tag telling the story of the silk.

Our farmers use a unique sustainable harvesting technique when collecting the silk cocoons which we use in our products, so as not to diminish the local silk population.  In fact, every purchase promotes conservation efforts for endemic wild silk species.
