Maricela Hernandez: Exquisite Iguana SculptureWith its limbs outstretched in a lively pose and tail curling like a brushstroke, this spectacular lizard alebrije feels like it just darted across a sun warmed stone in the heart of Oaxaca! Hand carved from a single block of copal wood by artist Maricela Hernndez, this piece embodies the spirit of Oaxacan folk art: vibrant creativity, expert craftsmanship. The color palette of green, coral red, yellow, and black is superb. Origin: Oaxaca Dimensions:

with subtle gradations across the shoulders and flanks that suggest warmth and weight

forming flowing designs that reflect elements of the natural and spiritual world

The geometric stars and diamond patterns echo the sacred “Ojo de Dios” (Tsikuri)

With its wings raised in a dramatic vertical arc

Each of them added an etching or painting to the pot

adorned with small spirals like stamped seals

as if it carries both movement and transformation within its curves
