Plump, Playful & Painted with Pure Joy

This delightful Oaxacan frog by the Blas family is folk art at its most joyful. Squatting proudly at 4" x 4", it's a perfectly proportioned little character β€” hand-carved from copal wood and covered from snout to toe in the vivid, swirling patterns that make Zapotec art so irresistible. Pick it up and you'll immediately understand why Oaxacan carvings have captivated collectors worldwide.

Each figure takes up to a full week to complete, shaped by hand with machetes and pocket knives, then painted with the fantasy and imagination that are the hallmarks of the Blas family's celebrated work.
