IOM to send handcrafted wooden bowl for King Charles III coronation

Friday, 5 May 2023 07:11

A handcrafted wooden bowl will be gifted to Their Majesties King Charles - Lord of Mann - and Queen Camilla, on behalf of the people of the Isle of Man.

The bowl, decorated with peregrine falcons made from recycled silver was designed and made by Manx artists Graham Hall.

He shaped the bowl at his studio in Grenaby from a fallen Elm found in woodland near Tynwald Hill.

For the Coronation of Elizabeth II in 1953, the Island gifted two silver peregrine falcons, which are at Balmoral.

It also has a Manx toast engraved, translating to ‘health and peace and length of life and happiness for ever’.
