Know before you buy
Because each ornament is handcrafted from natural Watusi cattle horn, the grain patterns and color variations will differ from piece to piece. You can expect your snowman to have a unique look that highlights the natural characteristics of the material.
The small ornament measures 2 inches high by 1 inch wide, while the large version is 3.5 inches high by 2.5 inches wide. The smaller size is ideal for delicate branches, while the larger size makes a more prominent statement on your tree.
Yes. These ornaments are crafted from repurposed Watusi cattle horn and are produced under Fair Trade Federation standards. This process supports Ugandan artisans and ensures ethical labor practices.
To maintain the finish, keep the ornament away from extreme heat or direct sunlight, which can cause natural materials to dry out. A light dusting with a soft, dry cloth is all that is needed to keep it looking its best.
While the horn is a solid, durable material, the ornaments are relatively lightweight due to their size. They are designed to hang easily on standard Christmas tree branches without causing them to sag.
