Tree of Life Leather Barrette

$20.00$30.00

Our Tree of Life Leather Barrette is embossed with the Yggdrasil and is made from hand-selected top grain vegetable tanned leather with stick holes 3 inches apart. Our Tree of Life design is based on original artwork by the fantastic Celtic artist Neil Dring (see his work here: http://www.facebook.com/pg/Knotty.Inks.Tattoo.Designs/). The roots of our tree spring from the knotted border that encloses it, uniting the terrestrial with the heavenly in the vein of the Yggdrasil myth.

Made from hand-selected top-grain vegetable-tanned leather, this barrette comes in various finishes including Classic, Chocolate, and Bronze, and has been distressed to give it an Old World feel. The color may vary slightly due to the nature of the hand-rubbed stain.

Barrette will ship with a wooden hair stick to hold the barrette in place.

Description

About the Tree of Life:
One of the more fascinating shared elements between the differing belief systems and creation myths across cultures is that of the Tree of Life. The Tree takes forms both humble and sublime: it is a shrub, a woody vine, a cross, and a towering Yew. Depending on the culture, it may yield Truth, Knowledge, Life, Death, Love, or even fruit with the power to grant immortality. In the Norse tradition, Yggdrasil was not only a figurative representation of the power of life, it was also a massive Ash tree that united every facet of creation. The 9 worlds of Norse cosmology were knit together by Yggdrasil, and the life-affirming aspect of trees was honored further by Vikings, who held their Things (assemblies) beneath the branches of “warden trees” that dominated the landscape.
