This handcrafted glass ornament celebrates the date palm, a native tree of Egypt. Flourishing along the Nile River, desert oases, and coastal shores, the date palm has nourished Egyptians with its fruit for thousands of years. In many traditions, palm trees symbolize abundance, victory, and resilience.
Skilled glassblowers in Old Cairo bring this piece to life, shaping and decorating each ornament by hand. The art of glassblowing has been practiced in Egypt since at least the 3rd century A.D., with its earliest mention found in a papyrus poem describing the technique.
