Cypress Tree of Life embroidery hoop kit

The Tree of Life folk embroidery hoop kit is inspired by a textile fragment with a cypress tree motif. The Cypress tree motif originated as a Persian motif then made it way into ancient Roman and Greek art and became a symbol of mourning which continued into medieval art. In the Christian age, classical symbols of mourning came to be overlaid with connotations of eternal life.
