Are you a cat person? Then you are in for a delight with this set of three black cat-shaped figurines made with ceramic and painted by hand. Guatemalan artisan Jose Arriola works ceramics just like the ancient Mayans did centuries ago, by treating the material at high temperatures on charcoal and wood-fueled grills. The result is a charming addition to your spaces, be it at home or at the office, in the shape of your favorite animal.

A wonderful gift for my husband!”

My husbands mother was from Guatemala, and she loved hummingbirds. So when I saw these ornaments, I knew theyd be perfect for him. Each bird is decorated with a unique design, and they are all lovely and vibrant. For convenience, they come with a colorful pouch for storage (if you only want them as Christmas ornaments). But you can also hang them around the house for a pop of color and beauty.
