Delightful rustic dog created by La Union, Oaxaca artist Placido Santiago. The great charm of the figures from La Union lies in their primitive and rustic features. Placido and other artisans from this town continue to use aniline to color their pieces, giving them a rustic, primitive appearance. This is how woodcarvings used to look, and it’s wonderful that the artists of La Union maintain that charm. What a peaceful expression this beautiful dog has!
