Crafts and Ornaments

CO21: This is an elaborate and intricate ornament made to hang from the ceiling or the door of the home. A plastic canvas was cut into the shape of diamonds, and embroidered with threads. It was then decorated with Hlaws (beads). Ornaments such as this one were very popular in the 1980s to the 1990s.
