These unique Christmas tree ornaments are made from calabash tree pods by native artisans from the Ampiyacu River region of the Peruvian Amazon.  This ornament features the figure of a roseate spoonbill - a large white and pink bird that uses its signature rounded bill to catch and filter small critters from the water in the lakes it inhabits in both North and South America.

This ornament has a chambira palm fiber chord allows it to be hung from a Christmas tree.  The beads inside also make it a great rattle that fits in the palm of your hand.
