Ref: 0009930-3 "Tree of Life" Seal

This is a refined Italian seal that consists of a waxed turned wooden handle and a bronze disc engraved with a Tree of Life.

Trees of life are engravings, paintings, embroideries, prints, or sculptures that have existed since the beginning of history and seem to symbolize the power of life and its origins, the importance of roots, and the development of life. They are sometimes associated with people or animals (birds, mammals).
The tree of life is closely linked to the four elements. Fire, air, earth, and water come together to give this tree its power. The tree draws nourishment from the earth through its roots and from the sun (representing fire) through its leaves. Through water, the tree of life can absorb the essence of life and transfer it into its fruit. This fruit is said to grant eternal life to whoever manages to find this tree. Air allows the tree to remain in touch with the surrounding nature.
