The Tree of Life Cross is a wooden cross without a corpus, in front of which a carved tree grows upwards. The trunk winds up the upright, branches and leaves wrap around the crossbeam, and roots and foliage show at the bottom. Narrow strips flash between the beams.
The name comes from the workshop; the product data do not interpret it. The tree on the cross is an old Christian image: in tradition the cross is also called the “tree of life”. Here the motif is expressly carved, with foliage and roots.
- Heights: 20 cm, 30 cm, 40 cm, 60 cm
- Finishes: Multicolour stained (three stain tones with wax), natural with gold, hand-painted (painted with oil colours), hand-painted (variant 2) and antique genuine gold leaf
- Wood: Wood from the Val Gardena valley (mainly lime wood, depending on size also maple or Swiss stone pine)
The Tree of Life Cross is especially lovely as a christening gift or for a wedding, because the tree brings growth and roots to mind. For an anniversary too, such as parents' silver wedding, it is a personal gift. If you would like to look around, you will find related pieces in thewoodcarving workshop.
Every Tree of Life Cross is hand-carved in Val Gardena and remains one of a kind, because the grain of the wood determines how leaves and trunk look. Delivery takes approx. 3–4 weeks. We ship insured from South Tyrol, to Germany and Austria only, for €6.90.
