It's Cactus- Haiti Metal Art
Handmade Haitian Metal Art, Cross with Flower Religious Decor, Eco-Friendly Garden Decor 23.5" x 13" by Jn Claude Soulouque
These sculptures are typically crafted from recycled steel barrels, which are abundant in Haiti. Artisans repurpose these materials, emphasizing sustainability and eco-friendliness. The use of rusty metal creates a rustic look that adds to the charm and character of the artwork.
Handmade Haitian metal art, particularly pieces like crosses with flowers, offers a unique blend of spirituality, artistry, and sustainability. These works not only beautify spaces but also tell stories about Haitian culture and the resourcefulness of its artisans. Whether displayed in a garden or as part of home decor, they serve as a celebration of creativity and a connection to the rich traditions of Haiti. If you are considering acquiring such a piece, you can find them through various online retailers that specialize in folk art, artisan crafts, or directly from Haitian artists and galleries.
Made of recycled steel, this sculpture will rust over time if it is exposed to the elements. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, some people like the look of a weathered patina. If that isn't you, don't despair. Taking five minutes once a year to apply a spray-on enamel clear coat will keep your sculpture looking exactly the same as the day you bought it.
