Magi’s Camel Ornament Old World Christmas

Dimensions: 4 X 3.25 X 1.75

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. Molten glass is mouth-blown into finely carved molds made exclusively for Old World Christmas, before a hot solution of liquid silver is poured inside. The ornaments are then hand-painted and glittered in a series of labor-intensive steps to achieve the beautiful creations.

Magi’s Camel Ornament. Legend says that the Wise Men travelled in a caravan with many camels to Bethlehem. The smallest camel was exhausted, but determined to see the Christ Child. In return for its devotion, it was blessed with eternal life. In Syria, the smallest camel visits children to bring them gifts at Epiphany on January 6th.
