I had been thinking about buying some sort of decoration to have on the door of the apartment when it's not the Day of the Dead or Christmas season. On Monday I was at Alejandro's family's house. I had a dentist appointment that evening, and I was walking the few blocks to her office. I passed a store which sells decorative items, and at the entrance was a beautiful metal wreath decorated with flowers and hummingbirds. It looked as if it would be too big for my door. On my way back, I went into the shop to see if that had any similar items in a smaller size. They did indeed. They had a number of decorations, all by the same Mexican artisan, all with a hummingbird motive.
I decided upon this one which is now hanging on my door.
The metal framework is shaped like a hummingbird, and it has hand-painted figures of flowers and smaller hummingbirds made of resin.
It will be on the door until October when I start to decorate for Day of the Dead.
