Hummingbird Hanging Decoration Dark Tones (L: 23cm x W: 6cm x H: 12.5cm) - Tequisquiapan, Querétaro

Handwoven by Octavio in Tequisquiapan, Querétaro, this hummingbird hanging decoration is crafted from natural rattan fibres. Each piece takes a couple of hours to weave, with additional time spent preparing and painting the finished form.

In Mexican culture, hummingbirds symbolise joy, energy and resilience — and for the Aztecs, they carried an even deeper meaning, representing Huitzilopochtli, the god of war and the sun, believed to guide and protect the spirits of warriors.

Hang it on a wall or in a window for a touch of texture, movement and colour.

Each hummingbird by Octavio is a small part of that story.
