Maiden’s Hair - L

The Ginkgo Biloba is a living fossil, so it is only appropriate that this unique tree is a dominant symbol in Asian art. A source of medicine and food, the Ginkgo Tree is very long lived, with some specimens being dated to 2,500 years of age.

The Ginkgo is the national tree of China and the leaf is the symbol of Tokyo in Japan. It also has a traditional medicinal use for cognitive functions such as dementia.

This particular artwork depicts the long lasting nature of the Ginkgo, resistant and eternal. It is suspended in a frame and suitable for hanging.
