Monarch Butterfly and Flower Luminary

The migration of the monarch is instinctive, meaning even though the butterfly may not survive to return to its origin (where they migrated from), the butterflies produced from its eggs will know where to go, despite never being there. No GPS needed. That is pretty impressive!

This Monarch Butterfly and Flower Luminary is handcrafted in a family workshop in the community of San Juan de Oriente, Nicaragua. Each ceramic luminary is created from local clay, turned on a kick wheel, and hand-painted. The artisan uses a sharpened bicycle spoke to carve and etch the design into the clay. Finally, it is fired in a wood-burning kiln. For use with tea light candles, fairy lights, or electric lights. Approximate size: 4" wide x 5" high. Fair Trade.
