This figurine is a contemporary interpretation of a dove. Innocence, beauty and simplicity are the legendary virtues of this bird. In the myths of Babylonia and Judaism, a dove circles the subsiding waters of the primal flood and returns with the olive branch, sign of renewal after inundation.
 
The dove’s gold gilded head and wings stand out on its black & white body. They are shaped as Rumi, one of the most popular motifs of Islamic art. Black & white curves on the body or head and wings are inspired by clouds. This further complements the fact that the object is a bird. 

You can display this handmade figurine with other gold colored objects in your home to provide a rich view.
