Further details
The colours used in this design are unusual. An similar example was presented to King Hussein and Queen Muna al Hussein by the Nordic Delegation representing tourism and SAS Airlines. The colours of red and black used on the presentation bowl and cover were felt to be appropriate with the decoration of the Royal Palace in Amman, and are colours that are not common in other examples of Kaipiainen's work.
