Aurelio Flores Mexico Tree of Life Art Pottery Candelabra Sculpture 21”H READ

A rare, fine example of a Tree of Life candelabra by Aurelio Flores, circa 1950. Aurelio Flores (1901-1987), the grandson of potters, began working as a child helping his parents. From the traditional candelabra and incense burners made for ceremonial purposes, he developed the sculpture known today as the "tree of life." or arboles de la vida. Pottery was something Aurelio did in his spare time. He primarily worked in the fields and was a traditional healer and musician. At first, he sold his work locally but later merchants came from afar to buy his art and soon he was known throughout the country and beyond.
