Wild Spirit, Captured in Copal Wood
This vivid, hand-painted zebra is the work of the Munoz Family, celebrated folk artists from the Oaxacan Valley of Southern Mexico — where the ancient Zapotec tradition of Copal wood carving transforms imagination into art, one brushstroke at a time.
Every Stripe Painted by Hand
The Munoz Family begins each piece with raw Copal wood harvested from the hills surrounding the valley, shaping it with machetes and pocket knives before hand-sanding and painting every surface in meticulous, fantastical detail. The zebra's iconic stripes become a canvas for the bold, imaginative color and pattern that defines Oaxacan folk art at its finest.
