"Listen, my children, and you shall hear of the midnight ride of Paul Revere..."
This handmade ornament of Paul Revere holding his lantern is perfect for American History enthusiasts and fans of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow and his poem, "Paul Revere's Ride." Combine this ornament with a book of Longfellow's poetry or an illustrated children's book for an extra special gift! 5.5"
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.
