Flounder Balsa Ornament

Flounders are demersal, found at the bottom of the ocean. They hide themselves in the sand not only for protection, but also to hunt for food. This flatfish is popular on many menus around the world.

Made out of sustainably harvested balsa wood, these lightweight ornaments are hand-carved and then painted with non-toxic acrylic paint by a cooperative of skilled artisans on Isla Solentiname, Nicaragua. Approximate size: 5" x 2".
