Gurney's Pitta Necklace

Presented with a hand-made cotton pouch with painted detail on front.

Each of our Clay Whistle Necklaces are hand-made using locally sourced clay, and hand-painted by our Akha hilltribe artisans.

The Gurney's Pitta (Pitta Gurneyi) was initially thought to be extinct for some time after 1952, but was rediscovered in 1986. Its rarity has been caused by the clearance of natural forest in southern Burma and peninsular Thailand.
