Spectacular one-piece Owl-Snail-Armadillo fusion carving created by top Oaxacan artist Manuel Cruz. Manuel is well known for his superb craftsmanship and strive for perfection. This amazing large sculpture is carved from a single piece of wood and is carved with unbelievable attention to detail. Notice the impressive encircling conch of the snail, the perfection of Ruvi's painting, the harmonious combination of colors, the owl face beautifully painted! Manuel Cruz is in my opinion at his most creative and successful artistic period. A masterpiece!
