Medieval Indian Tree Woodburned Wall Art, Islamic Motif Shelf Decor

Trees have historically represented the natural beauty of the world and the essence of life itself. The tree of life motif has been a very widespread artistic expression for millennia. Many cultures have depicted trees in art throughout all types of mediums. This woodburned, handpainted, and metallic leafed artwork echoes that age old art form of life by reimagining and bringing a historic motif to existence with this wall hanging or shelf art. The tree woodburned on the surface here is inspired by a carved lattice window in the Sidi Saiyyed Mosque in Ahmedabad India. The mosque was built in 1573 by the Abyssinian official in the army of the last Sultan of Gujarat, Shamsuddin Muzaffar Shah III. This date palm motif is a very iconic symbol of that city's history and past. We were excited to bring a piece of that past and beauty here to The Arabesque. This is truly a unique art piece and if you love it don't let it go - because art like this is one-of-a-kind and hard to reproduce. The wood plaque this art was created on roughly 9X13 inches wood plaque. The artwork is enhanced with broken glass, painted with metallic acrylics. It has been protected with a shellac finish.
