Árbol de la Vida Floral / Floral Tree of Life

Tree of Life in hand-painted clay from Metepec, Mexico. A compact piece, unlike the more traditional tree of life sculptures that can reach several feet in height. This floral variation focuses on blooming branches and colorful flowers rather than the narrative biblical scenes found in larger Metepec trees of life, making it an accessible and decorative interpretation of a deeply symbolic Mexican folk art form. Created in Metepec, Estado de Mexico — the epicenter of tree-of-life craft production in Mexico.

This piece is sourced from Bazar de Lalo, our flagship partner in Cuernavaca, Mexico. For decades Cuernavaca has attracted artists, intellectuals, and collectors from around the world, creating a pocket of rich culture and artistry. Bazar de Lalo, the 10 year old creation of artist Lalo Lugo, taps into this depth: an immersive space where antiques, folk art, and rare crafts converge into a breathtaking catalogue. Their sourcing and experience ensure that every piece we list is authentic, and that your piece comes from the heart of Mexico, with a story.
