Artists Neri and Soledad Cruz created this spectacular baby armadillo, a married woodcarving team recognized for their wonderful alebrijes in Oaxaca. Its body is covered in intricate geometric patterns, and the rich yellow palette gives the piece a warm, golden glow.
Bands of magenta, green, and blue cross the shell like woven textiles, while the bright, expressive eye and perky ears give this little armadillo a lively, curious personality. The armadillo is exquisitely carved, and the painting is truly stunning!
