Know before you buy
Yes, it is constructed from durable glass. Because it is a glass ornament, it should be handled with care when decorating or storing.
The ornament measures approximately 4.3 x 4.3 x 5.3 inches. It is an 80mm ball, making it a standard size that fits well on most Christmas trees.
No, this ornament is designed for indoor use only. The hand-painted details and mica accents are not weather-resistant and could be damaged by outdoor elements.
The Grateful Dead Uncle Sam skeleton design is meticulously hand-painted. This gives each piece a unique, artisanal quality compared to mass-produced printed ornaments.
The ornament includes a top loop for hanging, but it does not come with a hook or string included. You will need to provide your own ornament hook or ribbon to display it on your tree.
