This exquisite handmade silk ornament represents one of Madagascar’s rarest lemur species, the Silky sifaka.  Sifakas are distinguished by their impressive vertical clinging and leaping skills. Their long, powerful legs can easily propel them distances of over 20 feet from tree to tree.  Not only will this endearing ornament win your heart, its purchase helps support our conservation efforts which directly help protect native lemur habitat.   

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