THIS BEAUTIFUL PIECE WAS PERSONALLY PURCHASED BY ME DIRECTLY FROM EFRAIN FUENTES AT HIS HOME IN SAN MARTIN TILCAJETE, OAXACA, MEXICO NEARLY THIRTY (30) YEARS AGO! AT THAT TIME, I BECAME IMPASSIONED ABOUT OAXACAN ART AND WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO MEET AND COLLECT WONDERFUL PIECES OF OAXACAN CARVINGS FROM THE MASTER CARVERS OF THAT ERA. THIS IS A VERY EARLY CARVING AND, AS SUCH, RARELY, IF EVER, BECOME AVAILABLE TO SEE OR COLLECT.
EFRAIN FUENTES IS CERTAINLY ONE OF TH...E INITIAL MASTER CARVERS OF THIS ART FORM. I KNEW HIM PERSONALLY AND VISITED WITH HIM QUITE OFTEN WHEN I PURCHASED THESE PIECES MANY YEARS AGO. AT THAT TIME AND EVEN NOW, HIS EARLY PIECES WERE QUITE UNIQUE FROM THE OTHER ARTISTS FROM SAN MARTIN, BOTH IN SUBJECT MATTER AND UNIQUE STYLE.
AS PREVIOUSLY STATED, ALL MY PIECES HAVE BEEN CAREFULLY STORED IN AN AIR CONDITIONED, LIGHT-FREE ENVIRONMENT. THEY ARE IN THE SAME EXACT CONDITION AS ON THE DAY THEY WERE DISCOVERED AND PURCHASED. THESE PIECES WOULD BE A VERY UNIQUE ADDITION TO ANY SERIOUS COLLECTION OF OXACAN CARVINGS FROM MASTER CARVERS.
THIS IS A UNIQUE CARVING OF A WIZARD OR WITCH WHICH IS UNMISTAKEABLY EFRAIN FUENTES. PLEASE SEE THE IMAGES, ALTHOUGH THE PHOTOS DO NOT REALLY DO THIS PIECE JUSTICE. AS WITH MOST OF THESE CARVINGS, THEY ARE MUCH MORE APPRECIATED IN PERSON. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE ASK BEFORE BIDDING.
PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT ALL PIECES ARE CARFULLY PACKED AND MAILED FULLY INSURED.
