The Mifuko Cardinal Wooden Ornament is a hand-carved and hand-painted bird figure made from fallen jacaranda tree branches, handmade in Kenya. The cardinal is a striking North American songbird, the male recognized by his vivid all-red plumage and crested head, and the carving captures that bold colouring with painted detail. It comes with a ribbon attached for hanging from a branch, door, window, or tree, and works equally well tied to a bag or used as a keychain. A small, considered fair trade gift from Kenya for anyone in Canada who appreciates handmade objects with a genuine material story behind them.
