I guess I shouldve picked up on this from the pictures but there are so many it was overwhelming, but once I actually had the bag of birds I realized that there are a lot of birds you dont see much in art especially trogons other than quetzals, although there is a quetzal in here too!

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.
You can find our ceramic mini ornaments 'Avian Kingdom' (set of 30) by Jose Arriola in holiday decor & ornaments categories such as Animal Themed Ornaments, Christmas Ornaments, Hand Painted Ornaments and Ceramic Ornaments. Enjoy exploring these sections for other Novica treasures.
Preserving Traditions
Jose creates the most beautiful ceramic ornaments and figurines. His family has lived in Antigua for more than 100 years and he takes great pride in practicing the same ceramic techniques his ancestors used. He wishes to help this tradition continue and he teaches anyone in his community who has an interest in learning.
Microcredit Financing
Jose Arriola has received 7 microcredit loans with 0% interest from Kiva and Novica, the first for $450 and the most recent for $2550. Proceeds were used to purchase paints and materials for his ceramics to continue production.
Enabling Education
Jose's children are all grown but but he does provide financial support for the education of one person outside of his family and he occasionally supports other children's school expenses.
Confronting Adversity
Jose has been dealing with diabetes for over 17 years. His condition has caused many problems for him, but currently he is able to control it and enjoy his life.
Job Creator
Jose provides employment to several people within his community.
