Know before you buy
Because it is crafted from recycled steel drum metal, it has a solid feel but is lightweight enough to hang securely on standard Christmas tree branches without causing them to sag.
This piece is specifically designed for indoor use. We recommend keeping it inside to protect the hand-painted turquoise finish from moisture and potential rust.
Each ornament is individually handcrafted by artisans in Haiti who use traditional techniques to hammer recycled steel drums into shape, giving every piece a unique, tactile surface.
Yes, the vibrant turquoise finish is applied to the front of the figurine, maintaining a consistent look for your holiday display.
The ornament includes a hanging loop, but you will need to provide your own ornament hook or ribbon to attach it to your tree.
