Kintsugi is the ancient Japanese art of repairing broken pottery by mending cracks with powdered gold, celebrating the beauty found in imperfection and resilience. Inspired by this tradition, this ornament features hand-painted gold detailing that reflects the spirit of kintsugi while honoring the beauty of visible healing and restoration.
This gorgeous ornament encourages us to observe the broken beauty of the Christmas season as we celebrate the joy of Jesus’ birth and remember the scars he would one day bear.
Ornaments are handmade by Prodigal Pottery, which employs women fleeing homelessness, domestic abuse and sex-trafficking in Birmingham, Alabama.
