OUR COLLECTION — LATIN AMERICA — MEXICO 463. CEDAR HOLY FAMILY
This abstract Holy Family is carved from cedar wood. The artisan, Señor Zenon, has been carving for several decades. He lives in very humble conditions in a little town called Teocaltiche in Jalisco, Mexico. His main work is carving traditional Mexican wood toys. His wife and son help him with his designs in a family team effort.
Occasionally Señor Zenon carves Nativities. The unique figures are carved by turning each piece of wood on a homemade lathe. The finished figures are unstained, but they do have a protective varnish. The figures measure 8 inches tall.
