The "Arbol de la Vida" dates back to the ceramic traditions of ancient Olmec culture, and is today among the most well known themes of Mexican folk art. For over 100 years, Metepec, Izucar de Matamoros and Acatl?? in Mexico, have been known for their distinctive "Arbol de la Vida," which explains the origins of life - the biblical story of The Garden of Eden.
