Delicate Dove Ornament
Crafted by Syrian refugees living in Lebanon
With love in the air, this delicately embroidered dove carries an olive branch, an enduring symbol of forgiveness and peace. The olive tree, which originated in Syria, is also a reminder of home for the artisans. Syrian refugees who have fled to Lebanon due to war and violence, use sewing and embroidery techniques to stitch together stories and symbols of home
