Handmade in Ecuador, these unique nativity ornaments are carved from Tagua palm seed, a very hard substance that resembles elephant ivory. Tagua is a beautiful, environmentally friendly product whose use in handicrafts helps prevent deforestation for farming and the illegal hunting of elephants for their ivory.
