This package of beautiful art handcrafted in Latin America includes hand-painted wooden cross, a Tarahumara traditional pot, and a framed lace from Paraguay.




  • Hand-Painted Wooden Cross: This beautiful hand-painted wooden cross is crafted by artisans in El Salvador. The spiritual images painted on it come from both what the artisans see around them and the presence of God in their hearts and spirits. Every item from Tree of Life is signed by the painter as a special, personal gift.
  • Tarahumara Traditional Pot: This limited edition traditional pot is made by the Tarahumara indigenous peoples who live in a rugged mountainous area in the western part of the state of Chilhuahua, Mexico. They have preserved their traditional way of life and culture more than any other indigenous tribe in North America. In the village of Choguita, a Tarahumara women's group recently organized a craft cooperative in order to directly market their handicrafts and avoid the exploitation of middlemen. They named their cooperative "NAJIREMAKA NAKUOPO" ("As Sisters We Will Help Ourselves.")
  • Framed Lace From Paraguay: This handmade blue and white nanduti "spider web" lace is from Itaugua, Paraguay. Itaugua is home to generations of artisans who specialize in this unique national handicraft. 20" x 20"
