Wonderful Vintage Mexican Folk Art Tree of Life Candlestick antique treenware with that round and deepOh how I love this! Hand built of earthenware terra cotta, this candlestick was decorated with with a white slip and colorful paints and dyes, then varnished, which gives it a nice shine. How charming I think she is, plus these little balls extending on wire from her arms and base!
