BY WELL KNOWN MASTER CARVER RENE XUANA
FANTASTIC MUSEUM QUALITY CARVING !! WHIMSICAL, CREATIVE AND PLAIN OLD COOL !!
We fell in love with Rene Xuana's work as soon as we saw it in Oaxaca! One of our carver friends had to help us find Rene's house, but as soon as we found him we were convinced! Best of the best in this price range! Rene is part of the famous Xuana Family of San Martin Tilcajete. We absolutely love his work! Be...st of the best! Rene is a notably skilled wood carver who has a great sense of both whimsy and reality in his carvings. His wife Rudbelia is an expert painter who does fine work with much precision. It is a pleasure for us to be able to share their work with you! I love the regal details in this rooster carving, with his fantastic top feathers in the air, the open beak and his tail feathers that are joined in a triangular shape! All of the feathered details and the metallic gold accents add the perfect touch! There are no removable parts, and the piece is signed by the artists. Museum quality work at an accessible price!
