Tree of Life

In Aburi Botanical Gardens located in Aburi, Ghana. Artist Unknown.

A beautiful, carved art piece utilizing a dead tree breathing in some new life into the old wood. Every inch of which has been carved into an intricate statue, with hundreds of human and animal figures piled on top of each other, in an eternal struggle to reach the top.
