This sculpture is a feast for the eyes, full of hand-painted details. Artisan Magdaleno Fierro of Mexico handcrafts this ceramic sculpture in the shape of a tree. At the centre is an ark, with Noah, an elephant and a giraffe surrounded by green leaves, and blue, white, and yellow flowers, and terracotta-coloured doves with white accents fly about.
The tree of life is a quintessentially Mexican expression of folk art, often a biblical allegory told in clay.
