Blue Morpho Butterfly Balsa Ornament

$15.00

With their stunning blue wings, the Blue Morpho is one of the most recognizable and beloved of all butterflies. Interestingly, the undersides of their wings are unremarkable and lend to protecting them from predators.

Our unique, lightweight ornaments are created by a cooperative of artisans on Isla Solentiname, Nicaragua. Each ornament is inspired by nature, carefully hand-carved with a machete, and painted with realistic detail. Material: Sustainably harvested balsa wood and non-toxic acrylic paint. Approximate size: 5″ x 2″. Fair Trade.

Each ornament comes packaged in a gift box.
