Full description

This little angel lifts her trumpet to announce good news. She is hand-carved from olive wood in the West Bank, Palestine, where olive wood carving has been a family craft for generations. The town of Bethlehem is famous for it.

No two angels are the same. The natural grain of the olive wood runs through each one, with its own swirls and shades of honey and brown. A small hole at the top makes her ready to hang on your tree, in a window or above a doorway.

Olive trees are at the heart of Palestinian life. Families tend the same groves for hundreds of years. Many have lost them to land seizures and settlement growth. Carving keeps that connection alive, and your purchase supports fair work for Palestinian artisans.

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