This is a 3D hand-carved olive wood star ornament with a delicate nativity silhouette cut through the center. Two identical star panels interlock to form a freestanding, fully dimensional piece — just as striking hanging on a Christmas tree as it is standing on your mantel.

The Story Behind It

Olive wood carving has been the trade of Bethlehem's families for generations. The artisans who carve these pieces grew up learning the craft from their fathers and grandfathers, working the same dense, fragrant wood that pilgrims have carried home from the Holy Land for a thousand years. This star is one expression of that tradition — a Christmas symbol made in the city where Christmas began.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a hanging ornament or a standing decoration?
Both. The two star panels slot together so it stands on its own, and a gold cord is attached so you can hang it on the tree. It works either way.

What size is it?
Approximately 3.5 inches across. It's a compact, lightweight piece — easy to pack and post as a gift.

Is each one exactly the same?
The shape and silhouette are consistent, but the olive wood grain is unique on every piece. No two look exactly alike.

Is this made in Bethlehem?
Yes. Every Zuluf ornament is handcrafted by our artisans in Bethlehem, in the West Bank, Holy Land. Not imported from elsewhere — made here.

Care Instructions

Keep away from prolonged moisture and direct sunlight, which can dry out the wood over time. Occasionally rub with a drop of olive oil on a soft cloth to maintain the warm luster of the grain. Handle gently — the interlocking panels are snug but should be separated carefully for storage.
