 “The tree” is another particularly popular motif from the Chiprovtsiq carpet. The number of branches of the tree is seven or nine branches. The tree is also a symbol and carries out the connection between the earthly and the heavenly. The roots of the tree are in the ground, its stem is above the ground, and the branches are in the sky.
