Purple-breasted Hummingbird Balsa Ornament

The purple-breasted hummingbird can be found in Ecuador and Columbia. This tiny hummingbird is often hunted by indigenous people for the medicinal properties of its beak.

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".
