This beautiful set of three completes your holiday decorating with each ornament handcrafted by refugee artisans. These ornaments represent hope and resiliency and are a symbol of solidarity with the refugee community. Give a gift that tells a story this holiday season. This set includes: Silver Moon: Crafted by Afghan refugees living in India This detailed crochet work takes the shape of a crescent moon, one of the most enduring motifs throughout time. For many, the moon represents progress in life and new beginnings. Rising Sun: Crafted by Burundian and Congolese women living in Rwanda This sweetgrass piece is handwoven using a time-honoured weaving technique. The design represents the additional strength and persistence needed to rise again after being forced from home. Shooting Star: Crafted by Malian refugees living in Burkina Faso This star is a shining example of the metalworking skills of Tuareg artisans. For these nomadic pastoralists, who traditionally live in the Sahara Desert, stars in the night sky are navigational tools. Note: These products are handmade and there will be slight variations in shape, size, and colour. Show more
