This s truly a striking figurine, and taller than I expected. The cat is so sleek and graceful, and the way it twists its shoulders around (creating shadows on its body!) is done so beautifully that one can sense its lithe muscularity. Just a superb representation of the animal.
So glad I found this new-to-me Oaxacan artisan on Novica. Thank you Alejandro and Rocio for the adorable treasure. Such amazing painted details! He has joined a carved wood Nativity set from Guatemala. He has many other friends from Oaxaca and Guatemala that were added to the set.
I thought this item was beautiful when I saw it online. When I received it, I fell even more in love with it. It makes me happy. The colors are so vibrant and cheery. You can't help but notice it when you come in to my home.
