Pineapple as Architectural and Artistic Motif -
It is hardly surprising that this symbol of friendship and hospitality also became a favorite of architects, artisans and craftsmen throughout the American Colonies. The hospitality of a mansion was displayed with carved wood or molded mortar pineapples on its main gate posts.
It is easy for anyone to put custom hand painted images like this pineapple stencil on walls or where ever it is desired with the use of
Stencil Designs.
The first encounter between a European and a pineapple occurred in November, 1493, when Christopher Columbus, lowered anchor in a cove off the lush, volcanic island of Guadaloupe and went ashore. There, amidst parrot-flecked jungle foliage and wooden pillars spiraled with serpent carvings, his crew came upon piles of freshly gathered vegetables and fruits, including pineapples.I hope you find a place for this pineapple in your home and enjoy the pleasure it brings to you and your guests!
