This exquisite handmade silk ornament depicts a unique bird species endemic to Madagascar. The blue coua is a long-tailed tree dwelling bird that is part of the cuckoo family. This lustrous blue beauty is sure to inspire.
This ornament is a perfect holiday decoration, but can also be used as a ready-to-hang miniature artwork. It comes in a lovely box for easy gifting, and includes a tag telling the story of the silk.
Our farmers use a unique sustainable harvesting technique when collecting the silk cocoons which we use in our products, so as not to diminish the local silk population. In fact, every purchase promotes conservation efforts for endemic wild silk species.
