Full of Energy, Painted with Pure Imagination
This spirited jackrabbit is hand-carved and painted by the Carillo Family, celebrated folk artists from the Oaxacan Valley of Southern Mexico — where the ancient Zapotec tradition of Copal wood carving captures the energy and personality of the natural world in ways that are wonderfully, unmistakably Oaxacan.
Every Ear, Every Whisker, Painted by Hand
The jackrabbit's long ears and alert, mid-leap posture make it one of the most dynamic subjects in Oaxacan folk art — and the Carillo Family makes the most of every inch. Starting with raw Copal wood from the hills surrounding the valley, they shape each piece by hand with machetes and pocket knives before spending days hand-sanding and painting every surface in vivid, fantastical color and pattern.
