This ornament of author Edgar Allan Poe features Poe holding a copy of The Raven, one of his most well-known works, while his raven is perched on his shoulder. 5"
Each ornament is made using the traditional method of zardozi embroidery. Zari (meaning gold) embroidery. It is a highly skilled and rare embroidery technique that traditionally uses gold wires and jewels. Zardozi work is a rare and respected craft, with skills passed down from generation to generation.
These ornaments are handmade by women in rural Thailand who have found work they can do at home (vs. in a factory) through a local charity that our vendor has collaborated with for years. Over 200 skilled women work at home hand sewing the decorations and many women have been doing so for more than ten years.
