Know before you buy
Intarsia is a woodworking technique where different pieces of wood are shaped and fitted together like a mosaic to create a multi-dimensional, inlaid design. This gives the otter ornament a distinct, layered look rather than a flat, painted surface.
Yes, the ornament features intarsia detailing on both sides. This ensures the design looks consistent and high-quality regardless of how it turns on your tree branches.
It includes a satin ribbon specifically designed for hanging. You can use this ribbon to tie it directly to a branch or pair it with a standard ornament hook if you prefer.
Because it is crafted from solid wood, it is quite durable compared to glass or plastic ornaments. To keep it in the best condition, store it in a cool, dry place wrapped in tissue paper during the off-season.
Yes, this piece is handcrafted in the USA, reflecting the artisan quality and attention to detail associated with The Handcrafted brand.
