This exquisite handmade white silk moth ornament depicts the Ceranchia apollina moth, which is a wild silk species in Madagascar whose cocoons we use in our products.  Our farmers use a unique sustainable harvesting technique when collecting wild silk cocoons so as not to diminish the local silk population.  In fact, every purchase  promotes conservation efforts for this endemic species.

This ornament is a perfect holiday decoration, but can also be used as a ready-to-hang miniature artwork.   It comes in a lovely kraft box for easy gifting, and includes a tag telling the story of the silk.
