This great ornament is created especially for those with a "heart for Texas". Handcrafted in the mountains of Thailand. Measures 4"x3.75"
These amazing ornaments are crafted in a village outside of Chiang Mai, Thailand.
You would barely guess that two decades ago this was a chronically poor area; families accustomed to closeness were commonly forced to separate for survival as children went to work in Bangkok’s factories and tourist trades. Traditional village life deteriorated in the face of poverty.No longer do the villagers consider sending their kids away to the big city. Now, over 400 neighbors in this rural land work together to produce the art pieces Pilgrim buyers and customers love. They are able to remain in their homeland and utilize traditional metalworking skills.
