Plains Buffalo Ornament Old World Christmas

Dimensions: 2.75 X 3.5 X 1.5 (HxLxW)

Each figurative glass ornament produced by Old World Christmas is hand crafted in age-old tradition using the same techniques that originated in the 1800’s.

The ornaments are then hand-painted and glittered in a series of labor-intensive steps to achieve the beautiful creations.
