it's cactus - metal art haiti Garden Patio Tree of Life, Haiti Recycled Metal, 23"x 23" Haitian metal sculptures all come with a clear, weather-proof coating but if exposed to the elements, they will begin to rust over time. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, but if it's not the look you're going for, fear not. Just pick up a can of spray on enamel clear coat and go to it. Once a year will do it. Piece of cake! Our artists prosper because of their own hard work, your purchases, and our practice of fair trade.
