With its playful silhouette, the Folklore Bird Ornament adds a touch of old-world spirit to the holiday tree.
The Song Bird Collection brings folk-art charm to your holiday with three distinctive bird silhouettes—Folklore Bird, Woodland Bird, and Winter Bird—each with its own character and graceful, whimsical shape. Choose a single bird as a special accent or gather all three to create your own festive flock, with every handcrafted horn ornament offering its own unique variation in off-white color and natural pattern.
This unique, hand-crafted horn product is sustainably made from the horns of the Ankole-Watusi, or Ankole Longhorn, a breed of cattle native to western Uganda and parts of East Africa. These distinctive horns are a recycled byproduct of the food industry and are purchased directly from the cattle keepers, providing revenue for local cattle keeping communities. The horn is then hand carved and polished according to Maadili designs by a small scale artisan community.
- Sustainably sourced horn from rural Ugandan cattle keepers, horn is used and upcycled instead of wasted
- Hand carved in small scale, Fair Trade artisan cooperative in Uganda
- High variability of horn color ensures that no two pieces are the same - pieces come in variable shades of white to brown to black
