I think that is a palmetto tree/shrub. If that is what it is, they grow native in South Carolina, so thick that you can hardly make your way through them. Tough trees....There is some history about a famous fort in SC that the locals used those trees to make a barricade during the Revolutionary War.
I'm a little foggy on the details, but I know it can be googled.

Actually I think it's a yucca tree. Very similar to the palmetto in appearance, but it has slender, single leaves, not the fan type of palmettos.

I don't know @Nyboy if
I would not buy it. It really doesn't look much like his other works which are FABULOUS and very detailed. It seems to simple and harsh. (just my opinion.)

After waging war on yucca at our old house many years ago I can't stand the stuff and was horrified the first time I saw it for sale at a nursery.
I would never want it hanging on my wall, looking at it would make me crabby.
