Details

Guatemalan artisan couple Juan and Carolina (and family) carve these brightly-colored jaguar masks traditionally used for the "misnamed" Dance of the Tiger in Mexico and Central America. Although this version is decorative, it is still hand carved from pine, hand painted and decorated with tufts of maguey fiber, like those created for ceremonial purposes. The finish is a traditional rustic wax.

“Jesus Revived - The Risen Jesus”

This sculpture is one of three I purchased from Juan & Carolina. The open-armed Jesus is simply but beautifully carved. The purple flowers echo those on the St. Joseph sculpture, uniting all three in a celebratory Easter celebration. I also purchased the carved St. Joseph and the carved Corona Mary pieces. These pieces will be forever cherished.

“Sculpture of Mother Mary”

This sculpture is one of three I purchased from Juan & Carolina. It is beautifully carved and is painted with cheerful flowers that bring the same joy our Mother Mary does. I also purchased the carved Jesus and carved Joseph pieces.
