COLLECTOR'S SERIES WOOD CARVINGADORABLE BLUE CHIHUAHUA DOG #13 IN SERIES

BY WORLD FAMOUS AND SUPER SOUGHT AFTER MASTER CARVING AND PAINTING TEAM

JACOBO AND MARIA ANGELES

This little Chihuahua dog is a small slice of heaven! So adorable! I just love this carving... one of the best of Jacobo's line of small carvings. Expertly crafted with absolute attention to every detail. Jacobo and Maria Angeles join forces to create the perfect union in woodcarving and intricacy in their painting techniques. Whereas may of the female painters often take a backseat to the men who carve the pieces, Jacobo and Maria realize the importance of teamwork and mutual respect. As a result, all of their pieces are signed with both names, and they collaborate equally on all the pieces they artfully craft. Although relatively young compared to other woodcarving artists in their community, they are extremely talented, and their level of craftsmanship is actually superior in many ways! Their pieces demand a very high price, and are displayed in museums and galleries around the world! Jacobo and Maria can often be found in the United States, in museums and in classrooms, and enjoy sharing their artwork and teaching others. Jacobo and Maria Angeles' art can be distinguished by not only the expertise of master level woodcarving, but also in the intricacy of the painting of each piece. The painting technique is beautifully reminiscent of the fine brushwork of Native American designs, but the designs are based on Zapotec Indian symbolism. I love all the intricate detail in the paint design of this chihuahua, and the color combinations are just beautiful. There are no removable parts.The chihuahua is signed by Jacobo and Maria Angeles, and is a low number 13 in this collector's series. A certificate of authenticity is included from the artist.Approximate Measurements: 5 1/8" high x 7 1/8" wide x 2 1/2"Artist: Jacobo and Maria Angeles, Oaxaca, Mexico
