There will be no issues with these adorable kitties climbing up your Christmas tree. Jose Arriola crafts this set of six ornaments from terracotta in a rainbow of colors and contrasting floral designs. Each ornament has its own hanging cord and the set comes in a striped woven cotton storage bag. Jose Arriola learned the art of ceramics from his mother. He now owns two different shops where he sells his wares in the Antigua market. His work is inspired by old Mayan traditions and the bright colors of his homeland.
