Full description

Joy is a form of resistance. This bauble wears it proudly.

It is painted by hand with the pattern of the keffiyeh, the black and white scarf that has become a symbol of Palestine around the world. Look closely and you will see its three classic motifs. Olive leaves circle the top. Bold black bands run around the middle. A fishnet pattern wraps the base.

Many Palestinians say each motif tells a story. The olive leaves stand for the olive trees and the land. The fishnet stands for the fishermen of the Mediterranean coast. The bold lines stand for old trade routes. Together they carry the strength and resilience of a people.

Each bauble is handmade and painted in the West Bank, Palestine. No two are exactly alike. A glossy glaze and a bright red ribbon make it stand out on any tree. Your purchase supports fair work for Palestinian artisans.

This bauble is part of our Joy in Resistance collection: beautiful things made by people who are still here.
