Turquoise blue panther by one of the most well known of all the Oaxacan Woodcarvers Margarito Melchor. At over a foot long this dynamic feline captures all the magic of the copal tree. Painted in a layer method that hasn't changed in since the 1980's. Margarito is a legacy artist found in nearly every publication pertaining to Oaxacan Art. We are both proud and lucky to present this one to you in all it's nostalgic grandeur.
