Jacaranda trees add to the beauty of Rwanda, with their feathery leaves and small purple flowers. They are also special in that they grow back after being cut. Artisans use Jacaranda branches to carve these charming little birds, which are similar in size to Rwandan fire finches. They look beautiful clustered against the dark evergreen of a Christmas tree. Please note that the shape of the bird ornaments vary slightly due to the styles of the individual woodcarvers. From Azizi handmade, a social enterprise in Rwanda.
The lines and color of this bird convey a peace and quiet symbolic of the season. The ornament is slightly larger than expected but it still works as a small beautiful spot.
