This one-of-a-kind handmade ornament depicts a crowned Old World king, rendered with symbolic wings and dressed in an emerald-green robe patterned with gold. The figure evokes medieval and early European Christmas imagery, where kingship, guardianship, and divine authority were often intertwined.
Golden wings extend behind the crowned figure, giving the ornament a heraldic presence rather than a whimsical one. Layers of green and metallic tinsel, structured trim, and a weighted base create the feeling of a small ceremonial standard or processional figure rather than a simple decoration.
Striking and theatrical, this piece carries a sense of ritual and history — a Christmas ornament that feels rooted in tradition, symbolism, and pageantry.
Use:
Designed to hang on a Christmas tree as a statement ornament with Old World and symbolic character.
Materials:
Repurposed printed paper, metallic foils, decorative tinsel, trim, and hanging loop.
