Banana Shaped Olive Wood Bowl

Curved like a crescent, this serving piece measures about 4.9 inches long, 2.6 inches wide, and 1.2 inches deep, a long shallow shape that hugs the center of a table for olives, nuts, or a handful of dried fruit. Olive wood grown near the Church of the Nativity gives it grain you can read like a fingerprint, no two pieces matching, and the naturally antibacterial wood makes it as practical as it is striking. Slow growing olive trees lend this wood the kind of density and depth of color that only decades produce.

Carved from one solid block in the Bannoura family workshop and finished by hand, it arrives with a Certificate of Authenticity from the Holy Land. A welcoming little dish for a baptism or a new home, it has been treasured in Catholic homes who have trusted us since 2000. To care for it, dust with a soft dry cloth and keep it out of direct sunlight and away from heat.
