Collection: Calabash Ornaments and Hand Shakers

These ornaments were made with calabash tree pods by native Bora and Huitoto artisans from the Ampiyacu River region.  Each ornament features a hand-etched design of an Amazon animal in its environment.  You could hang it from a Christmas tree or rearview mirror or use it as a hand shaker that fits comfortably in your hand to keep the beat with any music.  Each ornament comes with a tag that gives the name of the artisan, their home, the four plants used to make the craft, and the type of wildlife carved on the pod.  These are not intended to be toys for use by children.
