Part of the Willow Tree Family Figure collection. A chrysalis is the protective covering in which a caterpillar develops into a butterfly. According to Sculptor Susan Lordi, the title of this Willow Tree ornament is a metaphor for the relationship between a mother and her teen-age daughter — a time of letting go, in support of emerging independence. A mother's first response is to protect her child. But the greater gift is to provide the love and trust that helps her daughter find wings to fly. The emphasis on this piece is on the daughter. It's her emerging, her transformation, her unfolding. The title is illustrative of this particular time of life. This product is part of an intimate and personal collection of Willow Tree ornaments designed by artist Susan Lordi with the intention of allowing us to express qualities and sentiments to those near and dear to us. Willow Tree was introduced in January 2000.
