Know before you buy
The ornament features a hanging loop, allowing you to easily suspend it from a branch or hook on your Christmas tree.
No, this piece is designed exclusively for indoor use. The felt material is delicate and should be kept away from moisture and harsh weather conditions.
Because each pigeon is meticulously crafted by hand in Kyrgyzstan, slight variations in shape and stitching are expected. These subtle differences are a hallmark of the artisanal process and make each piece unique.
To keep the felt in good condition, store the ornament in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using an acid-free tissue paper or a small storage box will help protect the material from dust and potential pests during the off-season.
Purchasing this ornament directly supports fair trade practices, which ensures that the artisans in Kyrgyzstan receive equitable wages and work in safe conditions. It is a social-impact purchase that helps empower women in the local community.
