| OAXACAN WOOD CARVINGS | ||
| The
Zapotec Indians of the Oaxaca Valley in the southern Mexican state of Oaxaca (pronounced
Wah Ha Kah) are the artists of this unique and intriguing art form. The beautiful valley
was the site of a very advanced civilization about 2000 years ago, evidenced by the ruins
of Monte Alban and Mitla. The wood-working techniques and artistic capacity of the Zapotec people have been refined over generations. The wooden sculptures featured here are hand carved from the wood of the Copal tree, then hand sanded and hand painted in their characteristically bright colors. Each of the carvings at Work of Artists are individually signed by the artist, and they are all fully guaranteed for authenticity. |
