This beautiful set of three completes your holiday decorating with each ornament handcrafted by African refugee artisans. These ornaments represent hope and resiliency and are a symbol of solidarity with the refugee community.
Peaceful Dove Ornament crafted by Congolese refugees living in Kenya. The Jacaranda wood is locally and sustainably sourced and takes the shape of a dove, symbolizing peace. The skillful freehand carving technique used to carve the dove is passed from one generation to the next.
Desert Moon Ornament crafted by Malian refugees living in Niger. This Desert Moon ornament highlights the impressive heritage techniques of the Tuareg. For these nomadic pastoralists who traditionally inhabit a vast area in the Sahara Desert, the moon is a symbol of protection and prosperity.
Blossom of Hope Ornament crafted by internally displaced women living in a camp in a remote area of South Sudan. This intricate ornament showcases the artisan’s mastery of beadwork and represents the blossoming of hope for a brighter future for their children.
