Freestanding Painted Tree with 2 Birds

For the Air Goddess — a garden guardian with a story hammered into it.

In the late 1950s, a Haitian blacksmith named Georges Liautaud chalked a design onto a flattened steel oil drum and cut it free with a mallet and chisel — and an entire art form was born. This freestanding tree, two birds settled in its branches, is hand-chiseled and hand-painted by Haitian artisans working in that same lineage: a recycled oil drum given a second life as something that sings. Because every piece is made entirely by hand, dimensions and finish vary slightly — that is precisely the point.

Perch it on a windowsill, a bookshelf altar, or among the herbs in the garden, and let it stand as a small daily reminder that transformation is always possible. One in the shop.

Approx. 4.5" x 4.5" x 1" · Hand-chiseled, hand-painted recycled steel · Made in Haiti · Wipe with a dry cloth; bring indoors in harsh weather to keep the paint bright
