adorable ornaments

Nestled among colorful blooms, birds chirp holiday tunes in a set of ornaments from India's Syed Izaz Hussein. Each is crafted with papier mache and painted by hand with elaborate detail.

Always on duty, graceful and polite, little dame Mari has mastered the elegance of a princess and the wisdom of an old sage. Made as a whimsical symbol of honesty, this adorable papier mache ornament by Anna Nasibyan of Armenia is masterfully painted by hand in a palette of red and grey hues, depicting Miss Mari in a lovely dress with heart details and wearing a little scarf. The ornament also has a jute cord to hang it anywhere.
