Palestine Sunbird (tiny plate)

10 cm diameter in diameter / 1 cm height This tiny plate, hand-carved with a sunbird embroidery pattern in the centre, is perfect for serving sweets with your morning coffee, or for storing your jewelry and keys. The sunbird is Palestine's national bird. This bird is more than a symbol of Palestine; it embodies the profound hope for freedom. Defying borders and restrictions, it migrates from Gaza's beaches through the landscapes of central and northern Palestine, finally finding its place in the coastal mountains and valleys of its sisters in Lebanon and Syria—a testament to resilience and aspiration. Dishwasher and microwave safe, hand wash recommended. Hand-built. Where should we go after the last frontiers ? Where should the birds fly after the last sky ? Where should the plants sleep after the last breath of air? We will write our names with scarlet steam. We will cut off the hand of the song to be finished by our flesh. We will die here, here in the last passage. Here and here our blood will plant its olive tree. – Mahmoud Darwish
