Lush, Luminous & Utterly Enchanting

This stunning green Oaxacan cat is a feast for the eyes. Hand-carved from copal wood and painted in rich, jewel-toned greens with intricate Zapotec patterns, it glows with a life and energy that's hard to put into words — and impossible to walk past without stopping to look closer.

At 3¾" x 2", it's a substantial little piece with real presence. Each figure takes up to a full week to complete, with artisans from the villages of Oaxaca, Mexico shaping the wood by hand and painting every detail with fantasy and imagination. The result is something that feels less like a carving and more like a living creature, caught mid-thought.
