Orange Animal (Squirrel) Pin Wood/Paint17x7, h. 10 cm Wood Paint Origin Oaxaca Signed This work was purchased without knowing the artisan or his work. However, it is unusual in the simplicity of its carving and painting. It resembles the work a farmer would have made for his child 40 years ago or more.
