This exquisite handmade silk ornament represents one of Madagascar’s largest lemur species, the black and white ruffed lemur.  Ruffed lemurs live in the tropical forests of eastern Madagascar, where their thick fur is well suited to the wet, sometimes chilly environment of the rainforest canopy.  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.
