This exquisite handmade silk ornament depicts the Trichaeta moth, which is a endemic moth species in Madagascar. Our farmers use a unique sustainable harvesting technique when collecting silk cocoons so as not to diminish the local wild silk population. In fact, every purchase promotes conservation efforts of forest habitat.
This ornament is a perfect holiday decoration, but can also be used as a ready-to-hang miniature artwork. It comes in a lovely kraft box for easy gifting, and includes a tag telling the story of the silk.
