This incredible embroidery art piece was based on a detail of Gua Tewet Tree of Life cave paintings, one of the oldest cave paintings known. It represents left palm in front of dark brown shadow-like background. This stencil is special even in the context of whole Gua Tewet painting, as it is the only one with branch-like or maybe vein-like pattern, probably representing a unique figure in prehistoric clan life. We have recreated it in great detail to present it in all its timeless beauty.
Cave paintings are probably the rarest and most enigmatic forms of human creativity, as no one knows why they were created and what their authors wanted to express. Some of them were visited and touched by only a handful of modern people. Gua Tewet cave paintings and pictograms, being over 10,000 years old, are one of the oldest in the world. They are also known as the Tree of Life and are thought to be related to early human spiritual activities.
Put this embroidered piece of human history into your modern cave.
