Mexican Handcarved Heart with Wings Hanging Wood Wall Decor, "Winged Heart"
Jesus and Roxana Hernandez present a unique home accent with this hand-carved wall decor shaped like a heart with wings. The Mexican artisans are from the town of San Martín Tilcajete in the Mexican state of Oaxaca, where age-old wood carving techniques have been handed down from one generation to the next. Crafted from copal wood, the wall accent is painted by hand; the wings have geometric designs in black and light blue against a yellow background, and the heart features a checkerboard motif in rich purple accented with hot pink and blue borders.

"What an adorable kitty!"
This little alebrije sculpture is adorable and just the right touch in my eating area. I particularly love the curved tail, which was carefully packaged separately to avoid breakage. This gato makes me smile every time I see it. Gracias, Jesus y Roxana!
