A miniature Peruvian witch ornament carried out in hand-painted salt dough, finished with a gold hanging cord and a compact sculptural form. At only 1.5 inches tall, it has the scale of a small charm, but the character of a collected folk object.

The figure wears a black pointed hat and black dress, with yellow hair, pink trim, a small floral chest detail, and a broom form visible from the side. The result is direct, strange, handmade, and far more interesting than a standard factory ornament.

This is the kind of small object that changes a tree because it does not disappear into the rest of the decorations. It reads as a witch, a folk figure, and a handmade seasonal piece at the same time.

The surface is painted by hand, with bright yellow hair, dark clothing, pink accents, and small decorative marks across the body. Its glossy finish catches light on a Christmas tree, garland, wall hook, cabinet pull, or small holiday display.

Small irregularities in the paint, form, and finish are part of the object’s handmade character. They are not defects. They are the evidence of a small ornament shaped, painted, and finished by hand rather than manufactured to look identical.
