About the Creation Process:
Each Spirit of the Desert gift is handcrafted from terra cotta or white slip clay. The process begins with liquid clay poured into hollow plaster molds, which absorb moisture, leaving a hollow shell. After removal from the mold, windows and doors are carved, and the piece is dried in a baking oven. Once dry, it is fired in a high-temperature kiln at 1600°F. After cooling, final touches such as the nativity figures and silver accents are added, making each piece unique.
Fun Fact(s):
• The San Miguel Church in Santa Fe, New Mexico, is considered the oldest church in the United States, and this ornament pays tribute to its historic architecture and religious significance.
• This ornament is NM True Certified, reflecting the cultural and artistic heritage of New Mexico.
Practical Uses:
• Holiday Décor: Perfect for adding a beautiful Southwestern touch to your Christmas tree or holiday displays.
• Functional Night Light: Can also serve as a unique night light, with its light bulb and switch attachment providing a soft glow.
Physical Properties:
• Material: Terra Cotta
• Color: Warm terracotta with silver-tone accents and silver bells
• Luster: Matte finish with detailed hand-painted elements
• Durability: Lightweight yet durable for hanging or display
