Turquoise and Mediterranean blue comprise the palette of this majestic golden mane lion. Margartio Melchor is one of Oaxaca's original carvers and big cats are his forte. His 80's originals were megalithic in size and this newest edition is quite big and heavy itself. Powerful in stature with carved mane and textured amoeba dots throughout. Painted in a layer method that hasn't changed in decades. Margarito is a legacy artist found in nearly every publication pertaining to Oaxacan Art. We both proud and lucky to present this one to you. Heaviest pieces in the gallery perfect for displaying on coffee tables.
