Fashioned from olive tree prunings by expert carvers in Bethlehem, Palestine, the miniature Handcarved Dipping Bowl is a beautiful piece to add to your collection. Use it for serving dips, small desserts, or perhaps a few of our Palestinian Table Olives. It also makes a lovely jewellery holder.

Olive wood is prized by woodworkers for its density, hardness, and exquisite natural grain. Palestine has some of the world's oldest olive trees, with a variety known as Rumi believed to date from Roman times. Prunings from these ancient trees tend to be more twisted and gnarled than those of younger trees, lending a timeless, artisanal quality to our carvings.
