The Most Spectacular Bird in Oaxacan Folk Art
This breathtaking peacock is hand-carved and painted by the Gutierrez Family, celebrated folk artists from the Oaxacan Valley of Southern Mexico — where the ancient Zapotec tradition of Copal wood carving finds its most dazzling expression in the peacock's legendary plumage.
Eight Inches Tall, Fourteen Inches of Feathered Splendor
With a body standing 8" tall and a full feather span of 14", this peacock is one of the most dramatic pieces in Oaxacan folk art. The Gutierrez 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 — sometimes a full week — hand-painting every individual feather in vivid, fantastical color and intricate eye-pattern detail that rivals the real bird in beauty.
