In homage to designer Mehera Blum’s late mother, Laurie Blum, The Conference of the Birds Collection brings to life the flight of the birds on their spiritual journey to find the mythical Bird of God: The Simurgh.

Because of Mehera’s unwavering dedication to maintain the integrity of her mother’s lines and brushstrokes, she prints a copy of the painting, selecting and affixing the flowers and birds to the wood, and has Blumera’s magical Mangku (Balinese High Priest) carve directly into her mother’s lines creating the illustrious collection.

Individual molds are made from the wood carvings and then carefully hand-crafted to create the Brass ‘Conference of the Birds’ works of art.

A Quote of Love is inscribed on each work of heart:

To penetrate into the essence of all being and significance, and to release the fragrance of that inner attainment for the guidance and benefit of others,

by expressing in the world of forms
truth, love, purity and beauty — this is the sole game which has any intrinsic and absolute worth.

All other happenings, incidents and attainments in themselves can have no lasting importance.

— Meher Baba
