Sarwa / Cypress Tree — Hebron & Gaza Side Plate in Beige Stoneware

The cypress tree شجرة السرو is one of the most cherished motifs in Palestinian embroidery تطريز, symbolising life, eternity, and resilience. This particular design appears on traditional embroidered dresses (thobes) from both Gaza غزة and Hebron الخليل. Stitched in repeating rows, the motif takes on different shapes and colours across regions, reflecting local traditions while connecting them through a shared cultural heritage and landscape.

With the Cypress Tree motif handcarved at the top of the plate, this beige stoneware piece brings heritage to your table. Perfect for serving salads, appetisers, or a slice of cake with your afternoon coffee, it pairs beautifully with other pieces from the Cypress Tree collection. Made to be enjoyed every day and on special occasions.
