About this Item

Give your holidays a taste of the tropics with this colorful mini ornament set by Jose Arriola. He shapes a collection of 30 tiny pieces featuring bananas, avocados, pineapples, papayas, mangoes, and other tropical delights from terracotta. Then he hand-paints each one in gorgeous bright colors. This set comes in a 100% cotton bag for easy transport and storage. Try them out as a fun centerpiece on a miniature holiday tree.

The Guatemalan artisan learned the art of ceramics from his mother. His work is inspired by old Mayan traditions and the bright colors of his homeland.

“Ornaments”

I bought these last Christmas to put on my mini tree. Unique, and its hard to choose which piece is my favorite. Its a toss-up between the mango and aguacate! Thank you José.

“Perfect Christmas gift”

Purchased these as a Christmas gift for a friend, whose Palm Springs home is a haven for hummingbirds. She loved the vivid colours, unique patterns and being able to support local artisans.
