A fantastic tree on the island of Al Waq Waq, located somewhere in the far east, is said to exist in Islamic folklore. The tree produces fruits that resemble half-plant, half-animal beings or talking, prophesying heads. One such talking tree with human fruit is rumoured to have been encountered by Alexander the Great. Unfortunately, the artist of the painting, which has been dated to the 1600s, is still unidentified. A Motichand Khajanchi from Bikaner, India, who was the piece's last known caretaker, sold it to an American collector in 1967. The Cleveland Museum of Art presently owns the piece after a 2013 ownership shift. We highly reccommend you to purchase this epic piece in one of the bigger sizes for it to really stand out.
