Graceful, Vivid & Alive with Oaxacan Magic
This stunning deer is hand-carved and painted by the Blas Family, celebrated folk artists from the Oaxacan Valley of Southern Mexico — where the ancient Zapotec tradition of Copal wood carving brings the natural world to life in ways that are anything but ordinary.
Eight Inches of Hand-Painted Elegance
Standing 8" tall with a 3" body length, this deer has a commanding, graceful presence. The Blas Family begins with raw Copal wood from the hills surrounding the valley, shaping each piece by hand with machetes and pocket knives before spending days hand-sanding and painting every surface in vivid, fantastical detail — from the tips of the antlers to the hooves. The result is a deer that feels both wild and wonderfully alive.
