Armadillo Ornament
- An Old World Christmas Ornament
“Armadillo” is a Spanish word meaning “little armored one.” They are the only mammals that have bony plates that cover their back, head, legs, and tail. Since they can roll into a ball to defend themselves, they symbolize protection and setting boundaries. This armadillo ornament can’t roll into a ball, but its glittered, textured armor looks nearly as real as the actual thing, and makes a great addition to your tree.
