Handcrafted Bronze Sculpture “Olive Tree Cradle”
A unique work of art that combines the symbolism of the olive tree with the nostalgia of childhood games. A delicate bronze olive branch grows from a sturdy stone pedestal, its buds and leaves glistening with golden highlights, while the olive fruits stand out with shiny black touches. A small cradle, lovingly woven, hangs from one of the branches, in which a tiny figure of a child sits, ready to play.
