The tree of life blossoms with the story of Adam and Eve in this original version by Jaime Esquivel. He follows tree of life tradition by presenting the original theme including the serpent with an apple between its fangs. However Esquivel incorporates his original stylizations with doves flying between the leaves and branches of this legendary tree. He crafts each ceramic piece by hand, using wires to ensure the tree can withstand the weight of each hand painted figurine.Please note: For decoration only, not intended for use as a candelabra. This sculpture is crafted by hand with natural materials and without molds, so slight differences in size, color and shape may be possible, as well as light small cracks in the surface. This only attests to the uniqueness of this piece, for no two can be crafted identical to each other.
