This beautifully handcrafted piquin ristra is made out of New Mexico chile piquin that is dried and treated with a red color preservative.  The treated coloring makes the ristra both durable and aesthetically pleasing for many years. The flat back allows the decoration to be placed on a wall in any room to add a classic New Mexico touch to any room or patio.  It is a wonderful house-warming gift for in-town, and out-of-town friends and family.
