Know before you buy
Each gator is hand-carved from sustainably sourced jacaranda wood, a durable and lightweight timber known for its fine grain.
Because each piece is individually hand-carved and hand-painted by artisans, there will be slight variations in the wood grain and paint details, making every ornament unique.
The gator ornament measures approximately 5.5 inches in length and 1.5 inches in width, making it a substantial but manageable size for most holiday trees.
Your purchase directly provides steady employment for Kenyan artisans and contributes to a fund that offers them access to interest-free loans, helping to foster financial independence.
The ornament is crafted from jacaranda wood, which is relatively lightweight, so it should hang securely on standard-sized tree branches without causing them to sag.
