The origami dove is a traditional paper folding model representing peace, hope, and harmony.
Although similar to the famous origami crane, the dove has a softer and more rounded silhouette.
This model is commonly folded using the bird base, a fundamental structure in origami used for many classic birds.
History
The dove became a global symbol of peace in the 20th century after the artwork created by Pablo Picasso, which was used as the emblem for the World Peace Congress 1949.
Because of this symbolism, the origami dove is often used in peace events, educational activities, and cultural demonstrations.
