Abstract
A holographic ornament comprises a hologram which has an operative surface. In one embodiment, the operative surface is masked by a masking member. The masking member is formed with at least one letter-shaped cut through which a part of the operative surface of the hologram is exposed. In order to protect the masking member and the exposed part of the operative surface, a transparent protection cover member covers them. In the other embodiment, the hologram per se is formed with at least one through cut which is shaped like a letter or the like. In order to protect the operative surface, a transparent protection cover member covers the same.
