SKU# 5304050

A beautiful symbol of peace from war-torn Cambodia. Like the ancient biblical promise of “swords into plowshares,” this candleholder spreads peaceful light from the remains of a brass bomb shell. Handcrafted by artisans of Cambodia’s Rajana Association.

War in Cambodia littered the landscape with bomb casings and unexploded bombs. Artisans with Rajana, a local nonprofit, create with casings collected by Halo Trust, a demining agency making the land safe once again for communities throughout Cambodia. Rajana, which helps young people gain skills in handicrafts production and marketing, transforms bomb casings into fashion statements for peace. “When we make jewelry [like this] then we know our country has peace,” said one young silversmith.
  • Recycled brass bomb casing
