peace dove
White winged emblem
A peace dove is a white dove depicted carrying an olive branch, symbolizing peace and reconciliation.
The image derives from the biblical story of Noah, where a dove returns with an olive branch signaling the flood's end.
Pablo Picasso's 1949 lithograph popularized the symbol for the modern peace movement.
Peace doves adorned the protest banners.
