The Tree of Life is an iconic Mexican design that symbolizes abundance, fertility, and joy, and represents a living connection to Mexico's rich cultural and spiritual heritage. It's a mix of imposed Catholic beliefs and the pre-Conquest beliefs. This piece has a lot of story packed into the tree: Adam & Eve are flanking the flower which represents fertility, the snake and the apples all over the tree.
This small, 6 inch candleholder is a sweet gift, from the workshops of Metepec, central Mexico. Well painted on the front with bright colors and natural on the back. All the flowers and leaves are added to the "tree" with wires which gives the piece it's lush look.
The Tree of Life will also hold 3 small candles, like fat birthday candles..
