Tree of Life Stone

Handcrafted Tree of Life Stone Plaque, a Comforting Sympathy Gift

The original for this was carved from a small block of Indiana limestone. My goal was to produce an image that captured the rough quality of stone combined with a symbolic strong mature tree. It represents the circle of life in a simple uncomplicated stone. It is often used as a bereavement gift, or part of a flower arrangement. Being a stone carver, I frequent cemeteries to admire the craftsmanship and images on head stones. To my surprise, the Tree of Life stone is sometimes placed near or on the ledge of a headstone.
