Composed of a combination of azure sky and ocean, Margarito Melchor's 'Fuerza Leon' features a graceful golden mane. One of Oaxaca's most renowned carvers, Melchor is renowned for crafting big cats. Measuring up impressively in size and weight, this impressive specimen flaunts a masterfully carved mane and textured amoeba dots.

Painted using a method that has remained unchanged for decades, this piece is a testament to Melchor's status as a legacy artist in books related to Oaxacan Art. We are both proud and fortunate to bring this sculpture to you.
