The 2004 series of Hallmark ornaments featured the girls in motion. The one of Kaya features her running through grass and there is an additional, mini-ornament of her mocassins.
I lovelovelove the detail in this piece. Everything adds to the feeling that Kaya is moving, from the way her braids lie to the way the fringe on her dress is angled. It's just so lovely! Even her porcupine quill necklaces are askew, just like they would be if she really were running as fast as she can.
The ornament itself is "hand-crafted" and I think it's resin. It's about 4 inches tall, ignore what my ruler says down there - it's tilted against and is giving a skewed reading.
The back of the ornament keepsake box has a blurb about Kaya's character while the inside contains a few sentences from Meet Kaya about the footrace she participates in, when she forgets to keep an eye on her twin brothers.
The inside scenery of the keepsake box is green hills and blue skies. The little card included is Kaya's portrait.
Overall, I think this is one of the BEST of the AG ornaments, if not THE best. I currently display all my ornaments in their boxes on my bookshelf, and I've never dropped them or anything so I can't say anything about their durability. I love how there is a flat base, though, so you can display it without hanging it up - eventually I plan to set each ornament in a row on a bookshelf in front of my short story collection.
Grade: A+!
