St. Nicolas Cheeky Monkey Ornament

Product description

Handmade and embellished, this cheeky monkey decoration hangs by one hand as it eats a ripe banana. Embroidered details give it a whimsical face and clever hands and feet.

St. Nicolas bespoke, handmade ornaments are made using the traditional method of zardozi embroidery, which originated in Persia and reached India in the 12th century. This highly skilled embroidery technique uses gold wires and jewels for embellishments. Today, only a few skilled artisans can create these pieces, making each unique. Since 1988, St. Nicolas has worked with a small Christian charity in Thailand that helps disadvantaged rural women find work in their community.
