Highlights

Our adorable Mari Lwyd comes to your door wearing her white cape, with ribbons and trim! At 6 inches long total, she is the miniature version of the old Welsh traditional figure of the Grey Mare. Slight variations in cape pattern will be present. She has a golden eyelet on top of her head for you to thread a ribbon so she can hang from your tree, and her jingle bells on red and green ribbons add a festive accompaniment to her singing.
This Mari Lwyd Ornament comes in her own rectangular clear packaging, fit for gift-giving or stocking stuffing as-is. On back of the box you can read the legend of Mari Lwyd and share her story with your gift recipient.

The legend of Mari Lwyd: A Welsh wassailing tradition from the 1800s, Mari Lwyd (or grey mare) was originally a real horse's skull on a pole, decorated with ribbons and glass for her eyes. She was carried from house to house by revelers, and at each stop she and her crew sang songs demanding entry! The ceremony continued with a kind of battle rap, the residents trying to match the wit of the Mari Lwyd. When they failed the contest, the residents were obliged to let the revelers in, give them food and drink, and sing more songs as the Mari Lwyd chased children around the room.

This Mari Lywd ornament is fantastic! I can't wait to hang her in my tree this year and every year after. Thank you! (Also the sticker on the box was hilarious -- the old grey mare definitely ain't what she used to be!) XD
