Here's a stunning and colorful Noah's Ark ornament, and while all the animals are safely stowed on board, there is a giraffe and an elephant on deck, and in the blue sea below, three fishes, while the sun emerges after 40 rainy days. Handmade from carved and turned wood and hand painted by artisans of the Graupner Workshop in Crottendorf, in the heart of Germany's Erzgebirge Mountains. The workshop, noted for their bold use of color, is run by Kordula & Ronald Graupner and their 15 employees. Just about 3 1/2" tall x 3 1/4" wide x 1/2" deep, with a cord for hanging.
