- The wing of this dove is riveted on, thereby giving it a dimensional quality. When it comes shipped to you, it will be pressed close to the body of the dove, but go ahead and bend it out a little bit to take advantage of that design detail.
- Though it is protected with a weather-proof finish, this sculpture will rust over time, if exposed to outdoor weather. To prevent this from happening, grab a can of spray on enamel at the hardware store and go to it. Once a year should be plenty. It's a snap!
- The Dove of Peace is a universal symbol dating back to the story of Noah and the Ark.
- Natural color variations from dark silver to rustic brown tones.
- We firmly adhere to fair trade principles and practices.
There are also medieval folk tales from Central Asia in which a dove is the pivotal figure in keeping the peace between to warring kings. Much later, Pablo Picasso's dove drawings were adopted by the Peace Movement following World War II, thus reaffirming it's representation in modern times.It's easy to hang your sculpture with just a few nails. Place the first nail within two design elements that are touching or notched. Then use a second and possibly a third nail, if the sculpture is large, to straighten and secure the piece against the wall. Just make sure that you don't place a nail in an eye or a mouth. A viewer's attention will go there quite naturally and therefore, directly to the nail. You don't want that!This is a hand-crafted original piece of Haitian metal art, made from recycled steel drums and brought to you through fair trade practices. It is created in traditional fashion; the artist utilizing simple hand tools for both the cutwork and detailing. A protective, weather-proof coating has been applied, making it suitable for display indoors or out.
