Spiky, Spirited & Bursting with Color
This bold purple and orange porcupine is hand-carved and painted by the Munoz Family, celebrated folk artists from the Oaxacan Valley of Southern Mexico — where the ancient Zapotec tradition of Copal wood carving transforms the natural world into something wonderfully fantastical.
Every Quill, Painted by Hand
The porcupine's quills are a natural showcase for the Munoz Family's extraordinary detail work. Starting with raw Copal wood from the hills surrounding the valley, they shape each piece by hand using machetes and pocket knives, then spend days painting every quill, curve, and surface in vivid, imaginative color. The result is a piece that's equal parts whimsical and masterful.
