Ukulele Old World Christmas Ornament

The Ukulele is a Hawaiian version of a Portuguese stringed instrument brought to the islands by immigrants in the 19th century. It quickly became Hawaii's most popular musical instrument, and a favorite of King Kalkaua. The name Ukulele roughly translates to "jumping flea" because of the player's rapid finger movements.

This is a brand new ornament from the Old World Christmas collection. All ornaments in the collection include a "story tag" on the hook, along with the OWC metal tag.
