Vintage 1982 Ceramic white dove Paloma hand painted Italy flower stem holder Doves are more than a symbol of peace...Doves are commonly considered a symbol of motherhood because of their unique ability to produce their own milk. Another confirmation about maternal attributes, as well as self-sacrifice for the sake of their offspring, is that they cease foraging for food just before their babies are born. This temporary starvation ensures a purer milk formulation for their offspring. This dove was made in Italy and hand painted. Historically, dove symbolism is associated with several mother figures: The Mother Mary in Christian legend (care, devotion, purity and peace) Ishtar in Assyrian culture (promise of hope and salvation) Aphrodite and Venus (viewing the soul or a sense of higher love) The softly lulling coos of the dove are testimony to a divinely calming presence among us. In fact, their soft vocalizations and docile appearance enhances their interpretation as celestial messengers – or the symbolic link between earth and air. The dove is a symbol of the soul’s release from its earth-bound duty. Time Honored Patterns Terms of Service: eBay is now collecting Sales Tax for all states that require it.
