This is a hand-crafted original piece of Haitian metal art, made from discarded steel drums and brought to you through fair trade practices.

The Tree of Life is an important symbol in nearly every culture. One 19th century theorist described it poetically, writing, “As buds give rise by growth to fresh buds, and these, if vigorous branch out and overtop many a feebler branch, so by generation I believe it has been with the Great Tree of Life, which fills with its dead and broken branches the crust of the Earth and covers the surface with its ever-branching and beautiful ramifications.” It's Cactus Metal Art Haiti. Maintaining the glossy appearance of this metal sculpture is a breeze. If displayed outdoors, apply a clear, spray-on enamel coating once a year. That's it!A few nails and a hammer are all you'll need to hang your sculpture. Look for a place where the design is joined or notched and put the first nail there. Use a second and possibly a third nail, if the piece is large, in other joined or notched design elements within the sculpture to straighten and secure it to the wall. Make sure that you avoid placing a nail into an eye or mouth, as that will draw attention to the nail. You want the nails to "disappear" into the piece.
