Etz Chaim - Tree of Life (duck egg)


“It is a tree of life to all who grasp it, and whoever holds on to it is happy; its ways are ways of pleasantness, and all it paths are peace." (Proverbs 3:17-18)

This egg is an original design and I wrote it in celebration of my friend's daughter's bat mitzvah. The Tree of Life is a powerful symbol in the Jewish tradition for the wisdom of the Torah, and I enjoyed writing a version of it here. The reverse depicts a wave with a dove in reference to Noah and the flood, which was in her Torah portion. Sophie is an amazing chanter and it was an amazing event!
