24" X 24"

This simple plant has a symbolic history. The concentric circles of an onion's layers, which echo its inner structure, have been interpreted as a symbol of eternity, particularly in ancient Egypt. The Egyptians viewed the circular shape and many layers of the onion as representing the cyclical nature of the universe and the idea of everlasting existence.
