Happy bright angels carry signs of good will. The signs these five ornaments carry are Love, Hope, Dream, Joy and the peace symbol. The angels, made from painted dried bread dough, come in a sleeve of paja toquilla fiber. Decorative only. Keep out of reach of children.

Bread dough folk art in Ecuador has its origins in Roman Catholic and Indian traditions. For the Day of the Dead in early November, families honor deceased relatives by placing simple bread dough figurines by their grave sites. In some regions, figures are made for the Procession of the Christ Child, a Christmas festival, and Godparents Day before Lent. Toquilla is a tall palm-like plant. Its leaves are divided into fiber, boiled and dried to make paja toquilla, or straw toquilla, for weaving.
