Sloth Silhouette Luminary

The sloth is slow, really slow. But did you know they can swim? They can swim 3 times faster than they can walk, which of course is not that fast but at least they can get somewhere a bit quicker if necessary.

This Sloth 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.
