A rustic, hand-carved and wonderfully colored figurine
I have four of these wonderful figurines from Juan and Carolina. I love them all. I like that they have been carved in a "rustic" manner, and then colored in such a wonderful way , with lots of flowers and many happy colors. I admit I think of them as cultural more than religious, but I enjoy them for the stories they tell and the beliefs they celebrate. I thank Juan and Carolina for how much I enjoy their figurines.
Exquisite indeed! Amazing details!
Thank you Jesus and Roxana, This turtle is the perfect gift for a friend of mine. I bought this for her to remember three different conversations. I know she will love it and her family will cherish it for many years to come. I was so excited to find one made by Jesus! and at such a low price. I bought it right away. I had some pieces by Jesus and Roxana before their works were available here at Novica....So thank you Novica for bringing more artisans' works to Novica for customers to buy. I check often to see what is new....and never hesitate to buy a piece from Oaxaca when I know that one was made just for me (or just for one of my friends/family members....They are wonderful gifts for friends and family).
