Bethlehem Hand Carved Mother-of-Pearl Dove Pin

Hand carved mother-of-pearl pin of a dove in flight. The inside of each wing is bezeled and the dove has a few hand carved "feather" accents above the wings. Silver tone pin back is stamped "BETHLEHEM" and safety catch is in good working order. Dove measures 2" from beak to tail and is 1 1/4" high. It is in very good, undamaged condition.

Fifteenth century Franciscan friars from Italy brought the craft of hand carving and polishing mother-of-pearl to the city of Bethlehem in Palestine. Today, some 700 years later, the craft is still being practiced and mother-of-pearl items are a popular souvenir.
