Description: This Arbol de la Vida "A Mexican Tree of Life" is a hand coiled clay pottery sculpture depicting the biblical Tree of Life; traditionally the tree sculpture would include Adam and Eve with the tempting Serpent, but the themes have evolved over time and today it is common to find Trees of Life conveying subject matter such as Day of the Dead and the Folk Art of Mexico.It’s thought that the decorative clay pieces known as Arboles de la Vida developed from the ceremonial candelabra and incense burners made by craftspeople from Izucar de Matamoros in the the state of Puebla. The design was probably taken from the bronze and silver pieces brought by the Spanish friars, during the conquest, to use in the church. As time went by the clay replicas became colorful and intricately decorated pieces with flowers, leaves and animals on their branches. Adam, Eve and the Serpent usually appear on the main trunk and the Archangel Gabriel appears at the base.Traditional & VintageNOTE: If shipping is required, then you pay the actual shipping costs.
