Bring timeless symbolism and sacred heritage into your space with this majestic Tree of Life brass wall sculpture, handcrafted in Bodh Gaya, Bihar—a site of profound spiritual significance in Buddhist tradition. Dating to the mid-20th century (circa 1950), this expansive piece is both a visual and philosophical centrepiece, celebrating the union of nature, wisdom, and the soul’s journey.

Every element—branches, birds, leaves, and blossoms—is meticulously sculpted by hand from solid brass using traditional metalworking techniques unique to the region.

Surrounding it, butterflies and falling leaves create a sense of sacred motion and continuity.
